Orlando Pirates news: Vincent Pule delights in Soweto Derby debut goal

Pule scored the winner on Saturday as Pirates sent Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs packing in their first Absa Premiership meeting of the season at FNB Stadium.

The 26-year-old popped up at the back post to tap home from a well-worked build-up from Zambian duo Justin Shonga and Augustine Mulenga, to whom he gave all the credit.

The former Bidvest Wits winger says it is a goal to cherish, having watched the spectacle on television through his childhood and wishing to one day be a part of it.

“It was a special moment to score a Derby goal. I will definitely remember this one for a very long time,” Pule told his club’s official website.

“We have all grown up watching this game and it has always been a dream to play in it, so having that chance and also scoring and winning the game made it a great weekend for me.

“Shonga’s inside pass to Mulenga was very good, and in that position we all know how dangerous Mulenga can be. He’s such a clever player. 

“When [Itumeleng] Khune came out and Mulenga picked the pass, I was in the right place at the right time for the finish. It was a nice finish to a great build up.”
