This is evident from how badly Kakashi crapped himself during the Chuunin and exam and from the fact that Orochimaru is one of the Sannin. Kakashi also struggled greatly against an incredibly worn out Sasuke that had just spent most of his chakra fighting off Danzo. Sarutobi himself stated that if Orochimaru took him down then there was no one else in the village who could match up to him during the Shukaku arc.Kakashi couldn't beat Itachi who beat Orochimaru. Therefore,Orochimaru wins this battle. Kakashi didn't really struggle at all against Sasuke. He stumbled after his use of Kamui (which is normal; he couldn't just sprint full speed after his most chakra-taxing technique). But Kakashi easily matched/beat Sasuke in Taijutsu and countered one of Sasuke's strongest, fastest attacks effectively. This is all normal because Danzo just fought Sasuke, so Sasuke was worn out. But Kakashi didn't struggle against him. If Naruto and Obito hadn't intervened, Kakashi would have killed Sasuke.
