Thousand of Orlando Pirates who were at the MTN8 semifinal second leg match against Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday afternoon could not contain their joy.

The Buccaneers were nearly unplayable for the defending champions at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane in a 3-0 victory. Kermit Erasmus and Monnapule Saleng's brace were enough to book Pirates' place in the final against Amazulu next month in Durban.

Following the final whistle, thousands of fans ran onto the pitch and celebrated with the players and with each other according to a report according to the Daily Sun. They had every reason to be, as their team had failed to beat their nemesis since January 2020, a wretched run of nine matches including seven victories.

In September, Kaizer Chiefs was punished by the league after many of their supporters invaded the Danie Craven Stadium field after their team defeated Stellenbosch FC in the MTN8 quarterfinal, as per TimesLIVE.
