Orlando Pirates claimed the bragging rights in the Soweto derby after they fought back to secure a thrilling 3-2 win over arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.

A brace by Monnapule Saleng and a goal from Thabiso Lebitso cancelled out Ashley Du Preez’s brace as Pirates moved up to second place on the log with 33 points from 20 games.

Meanwhile, Amakhosi dropped down to seventh place in the DStv Premiership standings with 29 points from 20 matches.
