There's no use celebrating Mamelodi Sundowns' defeat as an Orlando Pirates fan; as long as our team looks [shaky] like that. TS Galaxy has proven to us that Jose Riveiro's loyalty to certain players has put a huge dent on the depth of our team. Kaizer Chiefs is capable of beating this Mamelodi Sundowns team. We were just lucky their new signings were introduced late in the Soweto Derby. Teams will hold back Sundowns for us it's just up to Orlando Pirates to fix their locker room issues and be ready to compete again just like how they started the season –  Bra Lincorn 

The disrespect from coach Miguel Cardoso, how can he bench a good player like Lucas Ribeiro? –  Xolani Schuste Phuthini 

Orlando Pirates respect Mamelodi Sundowns too much in a way that they play an occasion not the game – Roy Ngubeni 

Maybe TS Galaxy should have let the cows graze on that field and water it for three hours before the game – Ditshwane Matlala

Galaxy wanted it more than us, that's why they don't believe they won the battle. As you can see, they are crying like they won the league – K Ziberto Mavaravara 

Orlando Pirates fans over the moon

Soweto derby fans of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

Sundowns can't play on a perfect pitch. Yes because the pitch in Mbombela is top class and well taken care off – Sello Van der Moloko 

Mamelodi Sundowns are only dangerous in the mud. Give them a great pitch and they will be exposed – Sparks

As Orlando Pirates, we are over the moon. Now we must send our noisy neighbors Kaizer Chiefs to complete the task – Teboho Mokheseng 

First Magesi beating them in the Carling Knockout final and now this! What I like about Sundowns is that every season they think that they’re are invincible but they only end up with only one trophy in the cabinet and nothing to show for their supposed dominance – Thabiso Lebea 

 As Kaizer Chiefs fans, we have been enjoying it since Friday! This joy is overwhelming – Kananelo Skana More
