Ouaddou's Pirates showed fighting spirit to conquer the Soweto derby

Orlando Pirates defeated Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto derby after taking the lead through Yanela Mbuthuma. Chiefs equalised through Pule Mmodi, who pounced after goalkeeper Sipho Chaine spilled a save, and created several chances in the first half. Coming off a 2-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 final, Pirates faced the prospect of another painful defeat, but coach Abdeslam Ouaddou celebrated jubilantly at the final whistle.
