Chippa United Football Club (FC) surprised Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium in Soweto by beating them 1-0 in the DStv Premiership on Sunday.

The ought goal of the game came in the dying minutes (86th) when goals seemed to evade every team.

The Buccaneers dominated the league-match exchanges and had the better chances but did not make the most of it. Meanwhile, it took Chippa a corner kick to find Abdi Banda in the box to head the ball in the back of the net.

The hosts could not believe what The Chilly Boys had managed to pull just at the dearth away from home. Their coach, Daine Klate, a former Pirates midfielder, could not contain his joy.

For Pirates though, the loss was their first in the three games played so far. They drew and won one, posting merely 4 points. Chippa’s win took them to 4 points after their three league matches.
