Reading Time: < 1 minute

Orlando Pirates supporters got an early Christmas present from their team.

Pirates beat arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday afternoon to advance to the final of this season’s Telkom Knockout.

This was the Buccanners third win against Amakhosi this year.

Chiefs are still winless against Pirates since December 2014.

Chiefs dominated the early proceedings, but it was Thembinkosi Lorch who put Pirates ahead after receiving a defense splitting pass from Pule.

Pirates joy was shortlived, with Colombian Leonardo Castro finding the equaliser five minutes later.

Finally, Pirates restored their lead with Zambian Justin Shonga scoring from inside the box, six minutes from full time.
