Shots were fired on social media as Amakhosi and Bucs fans exchanged banter after the titanic encounter
Orlando Pirates came into Sunday’s PSL encounter against Kaizer Chiefs as the favourites to win the highly anticipated Soweto Derby clash.
However, Amakhosi humbled their arch-rivals as Samir Nurkovic’s second-half goal earned the Glamour Boys a 1-0 victory at FNB Stadium.
Therefore, Chiefs got their sweet revenge over Bucs, who had secured three victories against Amakhosi in the current campaign.
Many fans took to social media to share their thoughts on what was the 100th Soweto Derby match in the league between the two biggest football teams in the country.
Check out how Twitter reacted to the result:
Orlando Pirates was too worried about playing Sundowns on the 15th that they forgot to train for Kaizer Chiefs.#SowetoDerby #Amakhosi4Life #DStvPrem pic.twitter.com/ui0x8QS8XO

@MakoPaseka this boy marvel to watch. Very confident, has an aggression in his game. Educated left foot, can cross well, can takes on defenders, has an engine to go up & down the left flank. He should’ve been a regular already in the national colors #SowetoDerby pic.twitter.com/MHXg7v39Ys
