Orlando Pirates were the victorious side when the two sides first met in the Top-Eight competition, winning 2-1 in the 1971 final.

Since then, the Soweto Giants have met a further eight times in the competition, with six of those encounters coming in the last four.

Last Saturday’s victory was the third win for the Buccaneers in a semifinal clash against Amakhosi, who have beaten their rivals just once at this stage of the competition.

Key Player

Khama Billiat: Despite not finding the net in the reverse leg, Khama Billiat gave the Pirates’ defence a few problems, and will no doubt be one of the men the Phefeni outfit will pin its hopes on as they look to stage a dramatic comeback.
