Chiefs and Pirates to meet in the Nedbank Cup final

Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will face each other in the Nedbank Cup final on May 10th at the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban. This after Chiefs defeated nemesis Mamelodi Sundown 2-1 at the Loftus Versfeld stadium in Pretoria on Sunday evening. The Brazilians have had an upper hand over Amakhosi, beating them twice this season.Both teams had golden opportunities to take the lead in the early stages of the first half but were denied by brilliant goalkeeping by both keepers.Sundowns took the lead on the stroke of halftime, as Teboho Mokoena curled a signature superb free kick that left Bruce Bvuma helpless. Chiefs equalized ten minutes into the second half, when Wandile Duba pounced on an awful error by Lucas Suarez to slot the ball past Ronwen Williams.With just two minutes left before full time and a possible extra-time, substitute Ashley du Preez pounced on a pass from Dillan Solomons, to send Chiefs to their first final in years. This will be the first time in the history of the Nedbank Cup since 2007 that there’ll be a Soweto derby in the final of the cup, and the first domestic cup final between the two teams since 2014.
