Soccer: Chiefs claim Nedbank Cup glory, end decade-long trophy drought

# Soccer: Kaizer Chiefs defeated arch-rivals Orlando Pirates 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday afternoon, ending a decade-long trophy drought. Captain Yusuf Maart scored a late goal to secure victory for the Amakhosi, who took an early lead with a penalty by Gaston Sirino. However, it took Pirates only seven minutes to score the equaliser with a header by Evidence Makgopa. This is the Chiefs first piece of major silverware since 2015, while the Buccaneers missed out on equalling their own record of a hat-trick of National Cup triumphs.
