Best & Worst: Pirates v Chiefs

Best & Worst: Pirates v Chiefs

Vincent Pule: 7/10

Soccer Laduma selects the six best and four worst performers, following Orlando Pirates' 2-1 win over Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby. 

Tired of reading? Click through the gallery to see the best and worst performers in the Soweto derby.

Best:   Vincent Pule: 7/10   Pule was fired up in the derby. He was finding pockets of spaces in the last third on numerous occasions, while he also netted the winning goal.   Augustine Mulenga: 7/10   The Zambian was a thorn in the Chiefs defence throughout the match. His combination with Shonga and Pule was impressive, which was evident in the winning goal.   Happy Jele: 7,5/10   Jele was solid for in the center of defence. He made crucial interventions at the back and his experience helped calm the nerves for his teammates at the back.   Innocent Maela: 7/10   Maela scored a crucial equaliser for Bucs. He was disciplined defensively at left back in not allowing the overlapping Ramahlwe Mphahlele space on that channel.   Willard Katsande: 7/10   Katsande ran tirelessly in midfield to neutralise Pirates dangerman Xolani Mlambo. The Zimbabwean, however, did need a bit more help in the middle of the park.   Khama Billiat: 6.5/10   Billiat was not at his influential best, but led the attack very well especially in the first stanza where he got the opening goal.   Worst:   Leonardo Castro: 4/10   Castro was struggling with the pace of the game. A lack of match fitness was quite clear.   Dumisani Zuma: 5/10   Zuma played well in patches, but he did not influence the game as well as he would have liked to.   Siyabonga Ngezana: 5/10   Ngezana was shaky at the back from the onset. The Young defender was often late with challenges, and was often beaten to the ball by Shonga.   Siphelele Ntshangase: 5/10   Not the best of showings from the Chiefs number 10 as he struggled to influence the game going forward the AmaKhosi.
