adminJohannesburg — Kaizer Chiefs set-up a Soweto Derby meeting with Orlando Pirates in the final of the MTN8 on September 20, courtesy of a 3-0 (5-0 aggregate) victory over Platinum Stars in their second-leg semifinal at FNB Stadium yesterday. George Maluleka scored a superb free-kick in the 29th minute to add a third goal to his tally in the semi-finals, having already bagged a brace against the defending top eight champions in the first leg.
Amakhosi comfortably knocked out the defending champions in front of an impressive crowd at the iconic arena in Johannesburg.
The result was put beyond doubt 10 minutes after the half-time interval as Reneilwe Letsholonyane slotted home, before Katlego Mphela scored his first of the season in the dying minutes on a chilly afternoon in Nasrec.
Chiefs ensured a second derby meeting early in the season, following the Carling Black Label Cup in preseason, while at least two more derbies await when the fierce rivals clash in the league, home and away.
Pirates booked their spot in the final thanks to a 3-1 (5-1 aggregate) victory over Wits in Soweto on Saturday evening, securing a second successive appearance for the Buccaneers, who lost to Stars in the final a year ago. — Sport 24
