MTN8 Semi-Final
Teams: Kaizer Chiefs v Orlando Pirates
Date: 08 November 2020
Venue: FNB Stadium
Kaizer Chiefs have a mountain to climb when they face Orlando Pirates in an MTN8 semi-final, second-leg tie at FNB Stadium on Sunday.
Chiefs are looking to overturn a three-goal deficit after Pirates stormed to a 3-0 victory in the first leg at Orlando Stadium last weekend, thanks to goals from Zakhele Lepasa, Vincent Pule and Thembinkosi Lorch.
However, after his influential display, Lorch misses out this afternoon along with last season's top scorer Gabadinho Mhango.
Josef Zinnbauer is back in charge of the side following his return to Germany for a family matter.
