Orlando Pirates fight back to hold Kaizer Chiefs to 1-1 draw

Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs equalise in 1-1 draw

Orlando Pirates came from behind to play a 1-all draw with bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs in a Betway Premiership match on Sunday.

The much anticipated match had to be delayed for 45 minutes due to the late arrival of fans.

With less that 20 minutes before the original kick-off, only 60% of fans were already inside the Stadium forcing the organisers to delay.

There was a fight between Chiefs officials and Pirates security personnel ahead of the match.

When the game eventually started the two sides had a full go at each other from the first whistle, but it was still goalless at half time.

Pule Mmodi broke the deadlock when he scored for Amakhosi in the 62nd minute. Relebohile Mofokeng was denied by Petersen five minutes later.

Kamogela Sebelebele found the equaliser for Pirates 16 minutes before the match ended.
