Bucs will host the return leg on the 15th of May at the Orlando Stadium.

Orlando Pirates are one foot into the final of the Caf Confederation Cup after they cruised past Al Ahli Tripoli with a 2-0 victory in the first leg of the semi-finals played at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Libya on Sunday.

Pirates got a dream start into the game as they managed to score within just eight minutes into the match courtesy of an Innocent Maela header. The goal boosted the Buccaneer’s confidence and they looked very comfortable on the ball. Pirates could have easily went into the break with three goals up, but Bandile Shandu and Hotto failed to capitalise.

Towards the hour mark, Hotto was presented with a good opportunity to extend the lead, but his attempt was saved by captain Mohamed Nashnush.
