Former Kaizer Chiefs star Junior Khanye has explained what caused the Glamour Boys’ defeat against Orlando Pirates in the second Soweto Derby of the Betway Premiership this past weekend.
Amakhosi scored the first goal of the game in the second minute courtesy of Glody Lilepo, before South African internationals Evidence Makgopa and Relebohile Mofokeng hit back for the Buccaneers to claim all three points at the FNB Stadium.
The match marked Nasreddine Nabi's side’s 12th loss in the Betway Premiership this season, and their chances of finishing in the top eight now appear slim.
Khanye explains why Chiefs lost to Pirates
Khanye, who currently works as an analyst for iDiski TV, claimed Kaizer Chiefs lacked quality and only appeared to be in control for short spells during the match.

“Orlando Pirates allowed Kaizer Chiefs to build from the back and opted for zonal marking in midfield,” Khanye observed.
“Players like Mduduzi Shabalala, Yusuf Maart, and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo had plenty of time on the ball, but they didn’t really do much with it. Despite dominating possession, they weren’t effective.
“With that much time and space, they could’ve punished Pirates if they had more quality in attack. But how many clear-cut chances did Chiefs actually create?
“There was one decent moment—when Maart made a deep run, received the ball from Pule Mmodi, and delivered a cross that forced a save after a deflection off Tapelo Xoki. But apart from that, there wasn’t much threat.
“For the first 20 minutes, Chiefs looked like a team in control—but it was more illusion than substance.”
