Dolly became the first Kaizer Chiefs player since 2010 to score twice in a Soweto derby league match with his brace according to football Twitter account @OptaJabu.

Knowledge Musona, who scored twice in November 2010, was the last Amakhosi player to find the back of the net on multiple occasions. Chiefs fans were delighted with the team's performance on the day and reacted on social media. Check out the comments below:

"When you get a chance please tell Baxter to trust the players on the bench as they are Kaizer Chiefs players too."

@ZenzeleKubheka9 commented:

"Thanks a lot, boys you made us proud. #Amakhosi4Life #SowetoDerby."

@101Acade said:

"I laughed when I saw Parker running to join Dolly and Billiat's celebration. He doesn't want to miss out on any goal celebration."

Kaizer Chiefs gets the better of Orlando Pirates in a tough encounter

Briefly News previously reported that Kaizer Chiefs faced off against Orlando Pirates in an empty stadium in the much anticipated Soweto Derby. Chiefs defeated Pirates 2 - 1 in a nail-biting match. SAFA was still investigating how to host a match with spectators in a Covid 19 safe manner.

Kaizer Chiefs are now ahead of the Orlando Pirates on the log following the match. Keagan Dolly was the key to Amakhosi's win after he scored the team's two goals. Linda Mntambo scored the Buccaneers only goal after an error from the keeper.
