Amakhosi’s win over their biggest rivals sent social media into overdrive as the fans reacted to the Soweto Derby encounter
Kaizer Chiefs grabbed the bragging rights after claiming a 4-3 win over their arch-rivals Orlando Pirates on penalties in the 2021 Carling Black Label Cup match on Sunday.
The win saw Amakhosi clinch the high-profile pre-season trophy for the first time since 2017 after the entertaining match which ended in a 0-0 draw at Orlando Stadium.
New Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen impressed with his penalty-saving skills as he denied Ntsekelelo Nyauza and Wayde Jooste during the penalty shootout.
Many supporters took to social media to react to the match with Chiefs fans expressing their happiness, while the Pirates faithful discussed what went wrong for their team.
Check out how Twitter reacted to the Soweto Derby clash:
Congratulations to Chiefs. Now Pirates must defend MTN8 and win the League.

Peterson stepped up, he trained for the whole season without a game yet become the hero of the day. He was thrown in the deep end and DELIVERED. Shout out to Peterson @KaizerChiefs and a big shout out to @IIKHUNE_32_16 for shutting up those who stopped believing in him ✌️

It’s been a while since we lifted our arm with a trophy as @KaizerChiefs , we needed to revive our mental well-being, we needed the uplifting of our badge as #Amakhosi4Life , the sting of wining was slowly but surely fading away.
