Baxter's Soweto Derby record remains intact as Chiefs complete league double over Pirates

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter kept his undefeated league record against Orlando Pirates intact as his charges clinched a 2-1 Soweto Derby victory at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.

Reeve Frosler opened the scoring with a superb strike in the first-half, before Kwame Peprah nudged in the equaliser from close range early in the second stanza.

However, a Keagan Dolly corner found the head of the lanky Eric Mathoho to ensure Baxter and his charges claim a league double over their fierce rivals.

The win moves Chiefs three points ahead of Pirates into second place in the league standings, but still a mammoth 16 points behind log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Baxter record

In his first three-year spell at Chiefs, Baxter faced off against Pirates six times, winning twice and drawing four matches.

His second spell kicked off in May last year after Chiefs sacked Gavin Hunt and in August, Baxter clinched the Carling Black Label Cup against Pirates in a penalty shootout.

When November came around, a Keagan Dolly brace ensured bragging rights for the Glamour Boys in 2-1 Premiership victory.

After a relatively cagey opening between the rivals, Amakhosi took the lead in the 18th minute after a patient build-up; Bernard Parker teed up Frosler, who unleashed a spectacular right-footed strike from outside the box.
