Olisa Ndah responds to Wandile Duba taunt ahead of Soweto Derby

Orlando Pirates defender Olisa Ndah has responded to warning shots fired their way by Kaizer Chiefs’ 19-year-old striker Wandile Duba.

Following the Glamour Boys’ 1-0 DStv Premiership win over Golden Arrows in midweek, thanks to a goal scored by Duba, the Man of the Match confidently suggested he was ready to carry that form into Saturday’s Soweto Derby.

Ndah says they are not bothered by comments made by “the little guy”. 

"I don't think it's a challenge, they just scored a goal. So I'm not worried about what the little guy said, I think he's more excited. I'm just looking forward to the next game on Saturday, and we just have to deliver," responded Ndah.

The Amakhosi youngster's stunning goal was the club's first in 2024, perhaps coming at the right time given the magnitude of their rivalry with Pirates.

The Nigerian international admits he expects Chiefs to raise their game in front of a packed Soccer City. 

"We have all the backroom staff and everyone working for us to have a wonderful game, so I know we'll sort it out," he added.

"I think because the Derby motivates them, like it does to us. No matter how bad we're playing, when it comes to the Derby, everyone is at their best and everyone wants to deliver.

"So I think it's more like the occasion, because they know how important it is, so they become more difficult to play."
