Pirates advance in CAF Champions League
Orlando played against La Cure Waves at Orlando Amstel Arena, in Soweto.
Orlando Pirates have advanced to the next round of the CAF Champions League after defeating La Cure Waves of Mauritius 3-1 at the Orlando Amstel Arena in Soweto. The Buccaneers, who had been struggling in their preliminary stage match against the Mauritian side, scored three unanswered goals in the first half to secure the victory.
The match followed a goalless draw in Mauritius last week, putting Pirates in a difficult position. They will now face the winner of the upcoming match between African Stars of Namibia and Gabon's Mangasport to progress to the group stage of Africa's top club competition.
