Kaizer Chiefs (2) 4 (Pule Ntsoelengoe 2, Petros Nzimande, Jacob Masike)

Orlando Pirates (2) 6 (Percy Moloi, Petros Nzimande own goal, Remember Majoe 2, Bernard Hartze 2)

The first-ever meeting between Chiefs and Pirates took place in a year in which there was no structured league but rather several smaller one-off competitions. The two sides met at the Orlando stadium in the third place play-off of an eight-team tournament sponsored by South African Breweries with total prize money of R1 000.

Pirates’ Teboho ‘Chippa’ Moloi got the first Derby goal before Chiefs’ Petros ‘Ten-Ten’ Nzimande then calamitously scored the second for Pirates with an own goal off his head.

But Chiefs fought back through the guile of ‘Ace’ Ntsoelengoe, who scored two to level matters by halftime. Then Chiefs went ahead after the breakthrough Nzimande, atoning for his earlier error. But Moloi won the duel of skills with Kaizer Motaung in the second half and Bucs got the upper hand. Remember Majoe made it 3-3 and then ‘Dancing Shoes’ Hartze put Pirates back in the lead. Majoe got his second of the game and Pirates were further ahead, 5-3. Jacob Masike beat Pirates goalkeeper Gerard van der Haer to bring it back to 5-4 in the closing stages but Pirates’ Bernard Hartze made sure of the 6-4 win with a late goal.

Benni McCarthy becomes part of Orlando Pirates lore at Soccer City

Orlando Pirates (3) 3 (Benni McCarthy 2, Andile Jali)

Kaizer Chiefs (1) 2 (Siphiwe Tshabalala, Lehlohonolo Majoro)

A blitz in the opening 24 minutes from Pirates looked to have sewn up the result but the champions ended up having to hold on to desperately for a vital three points in their bid to defend their league title.

A crescendo of calls for 34-year-old Benni McCarthy to be returned to the Bafana Bafana squad followed his two goals. The goal ace described the match as the best of a career that included a Uefa Champions League final and league matches in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and England. “

McCarthy – a confirmed Chiefs fan growing up – opened the scoring after he profited from a mistake by Keagan Ritchie to blast the ball home.

Jali had a simple tap-in to make it 2-0 after Segolela’s chipped pass, before McCarthy scored his brace after being teed-up again by Segolela.

That looked like game-over, but Tshabalala reduced the deficit with a fine goal from the edge of the area and Majoro set up a thrilling final 20 minutes when he converted from Bernard Parker’s corner.

Soweto Derby Rewind: Knowledge Musona torches Orlando Pirates as Kaizer Chiefs runs riot

Saturday, 13 November 2010, will go down in history when Zimbabwean striker Knowledge Musona made himself a Kaizer Chiefs legend.

Musona bagged a brace and forced an own-goal at Soccer City as the Amakhosi ran out 3-1 winners against the Buccaneers, as reported by Sports Brief.

Hardly a month later, Chiefs would thump their opponents 3-0 in the Telkom Knockout final as Ruud Krol and his men could not find an answer to Vladimir Vermezovic's charges.
