At the business end of the 2022/23 season, the two Soweto giants squared off in the semi-final stage of the Nedbank Cup, with Chiefs hoping to end their trophy drought.

It was a tightly-contested match which was forced into extra time, but instead of Chiefs booking their place in the final, and an opportunity to clinch some silverware, it was Pirates who came out on top thanks to defender Sandile Mthethwa.

The centre-back came off the bench in the 83rd minute and produced the decisive blow in extra time as he headed home in the 113th minute to secure victory for Bucs.

Luvuyo Memela - 3 March 2018 (PSL)

Turning our attention to a league fixture, Orlando Pirates pulled off a strong performance against the Glamour Boys in March of 2018, which put them only four points off table leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

On that day it was Luvuyo Memela who proved to be the most influential attacking player at FNB Stadium.

The super-sub came on at the break and wasted little time as he immediately put Pirates ahead 2-1, before putting the result beyond doubt in the 74th minute as he completed his impressive brace.

Knowledge Musona set up Ngcobo for the opening goal in the 11th minute and he tapped it in from close range. Just past the hour mark, Ngcobo completed his double with a headed finish to knock the stuffing out of Bucs, and Siphiwe Tshabalala netted a third to secure a 3-0 win in a one-sided final.
