Any Soweto derby has talking points that will be rehashed and turned into delightful digs on social media, but Yusuf Maart's wonder goal that settled a 1-0 DStv Premiership win for Kaizer Chiefs at Orlando Pirates on Saturday has lit up social media in its own manner.
Maart scored a goal from inside his own half in the 74th minute that saw back-pedalling Bucs goalkeeper Siyabonga Montshane tripping over himself as he could not get close to the spectacular chip that dipped in under the crossbar.

Any Soweto derby has talking points that will be rehashed and turned into delightful digs on social media, but Yusuf Maart's wonder goal that settled a 1-0 DStv Premiership win for Kaizer Chiefs at Orlando Pirates on Saturday has lit up social media in its own manner.
Maart scored a goal from inside his own half in the 74th minute that saw back-pedalling Bucs goalkeeper Siyabonga Montshane tripping over himself as he could not get close to the spectacular chip that dipped in under the crossbar.
Chiefs supporters on Twitter were calling for Maart to be given goal of the season already.
