Orlando Pirates go into their first round second leg game against Zanaco with the upper hand, following their 1-0 away win in the first leg.
The Buccaneers are going through a rough patch at the moment, as their last win in the league was against Platinum Stars on February 20, but the club’s CAF Champions League run has been impressive. Pirates have won all their games in the competition so far.
Roger de Sa and his team know that the only way to please their fans is by winning against the Zambian side to advance to the second round.
Pirates’ PRO Mickey Modisane is calling the country’s football followers to support the team in their campaign.
“Our message to all the South African football fans is to come to the stadium and support the team. Orlando Pirates is carrying the flag of Mzansi in the Champions League, irrespective of the club one supports. They must come with one objective, to see a South African team breaking boundaries to proceed to the other stages of this competition. Tickets can be purchased from Computicket and Shoprite Checkers outlets. Gates will open at 17: 00 with the game starting at 20: 15 pm. Tickets will also be sold at the stadium’s ticket office,” said Modisane.
First leg result:
Pirates: 1 (Ndumiso Mabena)
Zanaco: 0
Players to watch:
Pirates: Takesure Chinyama
