Ghanaians Ofori, Peprah help Orlando Pirates reach CAF Cup semis

Pirates won a stoppage-ridden quarterfinal second leg 1-0 in Soweto thanks to a headed goal from forward Peprah, with TV replays shown belatedly suggesting he was offside.

Unlike Europe, where UEFA ties go to extra time first, Africa heads straight to penalties and Pirates won the shootout 4-3 with goalkeeper Ofori converting the kick that took the Buccaneers through. Ahly or Ittihad, whose first leg ended goalless, will have home advantage over Pirates on May 8 with the return match on May 15. No date or venue has been announced for the final.The penalty shootout drama compensated the crowd at Orlando Stadium after a match constantly punctuated by long delays for injuries, mostly to Simba players.

The other semi-final in the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League will pit TP Mazembe of DR Congo against Al Masry of Egypt or 2020 Confederation Cup winners Renaissance Berkane of Morocco.

What kind of headline is that?! Disgusting.

Nonsensical headline. 'Orlando Pirates reach CAF semis'
