Kaizer Chiefs defender Edmilson Dove was delighted at making his Soweto derby bow in a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Orlando Pirates in front of a sold-out FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Yusuf Maart scored one of the epic goals in the history of the Soweto derby with a sensational lobbed effort from beyond the half-way line.

"It is everyone's wish to be inside that stadium with a packed crowd, and I must say it felt amazing for me personally, especially representing this great club," Dove was quoted on the Chiefs website.
"What matters most is what you do on the day and we had been working during the week prior to the game.
"We took into consideration everything the coaches told us and I think it worked. We were compact and worked as a team, so credit goes to the whole team because defending starts from the front, not only for us defenders.
"We should build from this. If the team shows the same attitude and determination going into the next games, like the upcoming Carling Cup, I think we have a chance to do something amazing again."
Chiefs will next feature in the Carling Black Label Cup tournament alongside Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and AmaZulu on 12 November.
