  • Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Yusuf Maart turned himself into a Soweto Derby legend with a sensational goal from behind the halfway line against Orlando Pirates
  • He made sure that Siyabonga Mpontshane would not forget who he was with what transpired at Soccer City last Saturday
  • For many Pirates supporters, this was another uncannily sensational goal that was scored against their team

Orlando Pirates cannot seem to catch a break when it comes to conceding 'worldies' that will never be forgotten.

The latest came via the educated right foot of Yusuf Maart, who chipped Buccaneers goalkeeper Siyabonga Mpontshane from behind the halfway line for what could be the DStv Premiership Goal of the Season already. It is also quite possibly in the conversation for nomination among the next batch of FIFA Puskas Award-quality goals.

A video has since emerged of other incredible goals in which Pirates goalkeepers are the unfortunate victims of world-class genius. There was one where Mamelodi Sundowns' Hlompho Kekana hit a pile-driver past the late Senzo Meyiwa.

Then there was the Puskas Award-nominated bicycle kick by Baroka FC goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke, with Jackson Mabokgwane being on the receiving end on that occasion.

Kekana, still in the colours of The Brazilians, returned to haunt the Buccaneers, also scoring from behind the halfway line past a flailing Wayne Sandilands

Yusuf Maart woke up probably feeling like a million bucks.

The Kaizer Chiefs player scored from behind the halfway line against Orlando Pirates in what is probably the greatest goal in the history of the Soweto Derby, as reported by Sports Brief. The lightning strike in the 74th minute would prove to be decisive as the Amakhosi ran out 1-0 winners in the DStv Premiership encounter.

Many were quick to point out just how incredibly similar this goal was to one from the recent past. During a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Cameroon, legendary former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana put South Africa in the lead and silenced the stunned crowd after scoring from beyond the halfway line.
