Best & Worst: Pirates v Chiefs

Edwin Gyimah: 7/10

Soccer Laduma selects the six best and four worst players, following Orlando Pirates' 0-0 draw with Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium.

Edwin Gyimah: 7/10

The Ghanaian looks to have cemented his spot in the heart of the Bucs defence and put in a solid display.

Lorenzo Gordinho: 7/10

Gordinho seems to be getting better with every game he plays, and he was superb on the day, making a few good tackles and interception.

Erick Mathoho: 6.5/10

Alongside Gordinho, "Tower" was solid in defence and did well to frustrate Tendai Ndoro.

Riyaad Norodien: 6.5/10

Norodien was a late inclusion to the side, but he was Pirates' biggest threat on the day, troubling Chiefs' defence for most of the clash.

Sibusiso Khumalo: 6.5/10

The Chiefs full-back has now cemented his spot as the club's first choice left-back and he put in a solid shift and denied Rakhale the space to play.

Issa Sarr: 6.5/10

In a game where neither side created a lot of openings, Sarr put in a decent shift in front of the Pirates back four and restricted Chiefs to efforts from distance.

WORST:

William Twala: 4/10

Twala found himself in a number of promising positions, but his decision-making was poor.

Gift Motupa: 4/10

Didn't have the liveliest of games behind Ndoro and he also missed a big chance in the second half.

Mitchell Katsvairo: 4/10

The Zimbabwean cut a frustrating figure in the Chiefs attack and had no joy against the Buccaneers defence.

Mpho Makola: 4/10

After a Man of the Match display last weekend, Makola struggled to impose himself on the match and looked sloppy on the ball.
