The story
Although he was expected to play a key role in Saturday's Soweto Derby, Orlando Pirates winger Mohau Nkota had a relatively quiet performance against Kaizer Chiefs.
The 20-year-old was replaced by Kabelo Dlamini at half-time after a difficult first half coming up against Bafana Bafana defender, Rushwin Dortley.
Although his team secured all three points with a last-minute penalty from Patrick Maswanganyi, Nkota will likely be eager to put the game behind him.
The youngster has worked hard under the tutelage of Jose Riveiro to maintain his place on the right flank, contributing with four goals and two assists in all competitions.
A man who knows all about the pressure of playing in a Soweto Derby, Jimmy Tau, posted a photo of him and the Bucs youngster and captioned it with:
"Keep your feet firmly on the ground. Your future is bright," wrote the former Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs fullback.

Here's what Nkota shared on Instagram after his first Soweto Derby:
Nkota's partner-in-crime in the Pirates set-up, 20-year-old bright prospect Relebohile Mofokeng was able to finish the game on Saturday, playing a key role in the Sea Robbers being awarded a penalty in the dying moments of the game.
It appears as if Mofokeng was handed a personalised artwork on canvas, that features a portrait of the baller taken from the MTN8 final with the Johannesburg CBD in the background.
