Pirates Punish The 11 Disciples
Orlando Pirates made up for their dismal 0-0 tie against Disciples FC in the first Champions League preliminary round in Mauritius by winning the second round on Friday, August 24, 2024, at Orlando Stadium.
The Bhakanias advanced to the following round of the CAF Champions League with a 4-0 victory over the Disciples FC. They scored eight goals in all on a fantastic night, but the other four goals were disqualified by the match official for being offside.
Pirates coach gave his team the go-ahead to come back strong, play clinically up front, and be reliable at the back before this game, and his boys did not let him down.
Pirates’ goalkeeper, Sipho Chaine, expressed his joy at the victory and his gratitude to all of the devoted supporters who came out to cheer them on. “It’s always exciting to come to Orlando and play with our supporters behind us. I think today’s victory is dedicated to them. We appreciate them so much.” said Chaine. ” It was not an easy game. It’s always difficult in these Caf games. Every team is a champion wherever they come from. We can’t undermine anyone. They (Disciples FC) showed us in the 1st leg that they are not a team to play around with. So I think it’s a good victory at home.
The outcomes of the match between Jwaneng Galaxy FC and African Stars, which are playing their second leg of the First CAF Champions League preliminary round on August 24, 2024, at 15h00, from Botswana and Namibia, respectively, are anticipated by the Sea Robbers. Given that Jwaneng Galaxy eliminated Orlando Pirates from the 2023 CAF Champions League, they are trailing by 1-0 on aggregate.
