Kaizer Chiefs 0-2 Orlando Pirates : MTN8 2nd Leg reactions from coach Gavin Hunt

Orlando Pirates will play Bloemfontein Celtic in the MTN8 final, after a comfortable aggregate win over Kaizer Chiefs in the semi-finals. Pirates beat Chiefs 2-0 in the second leg at the FNB Stadium, to go through 5-0 on aggregate. Desperate to get back into the tie, Chiefs dominated possession in the opening half, but they weren’t able to create any clear cut opportunities. In fact the best chances fell to Pirates on the counter, but Chiefs were able to deal with any danger. The Amakhosi were dealt an early blow when Reeve Frosler had to go off injured, and he was replaced by Siphelele Ntshangase just before the half hour mark. And at halftime the score remained goalless, with Pirates maintaining their 3-0 aggregate lead from the first leg. In the 58th minute, Chiefs came close to opening the scoring but the crossbar denied Ntshangase from long range. Seconds later Pirates were in the lead, the ever-dangerous Deon Hotto broke free on the counter, and while his initial shot was saved by Daniel Akpeyi, the Chiefs stopper could only steer it in into the path of Fortune Makaringe, who tapped in. Substitute Linda Mntambo made it 2-0 in the 79th minute as he raced clear after being played in by Hotto, and 'Figo' calmly finished into the bottom corner. To rub salt into Chiefs' wounds, Eric Mathoho picked up two yellows, and was sent off in stoppage time. A comfortable win in the end for Pirates, as Josef Zinnbauer guides Pirates into their first MTN8 final in six years.
