Akpeyi helps Kaizer Chiefs to vital win in Soweto derby

Super Eagles goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi was in full-time action for Kaizer Chiefs in their 2-1 home win against Olisa Ndah’s Orlando Pirates in their Dstv Premiership clash at the Amakhosi Stadium on Saturday afternoon, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The Super Eagles goalkeeper put in an impressive shift in goal as Stuart Baxter’s men bounced back from their disappointing home loss to Stellenbosch FC last Tuesday. Meanwhile, it was a disappointing afternoon for Ndah as he gave away the penalty that proved to be the winner for Chiefs. The home side took the lead in the 49th minute, courtesy of a strike from Keagan Dolly. However, Orlando Pirates drew level three minutes from time through Linda Mntambo. Mntambo’s strike appeared to have snatched a point for Pirates until Ndah was penalised in the box for a foul in the second minute of added time. Dolly stepped up to convert the resulting penalty, handing Chiefs a dramatic win in the first instalment of this season’s Soweto derby.
