Pirates through to Carling Cup semi-finals
Mpho Padime scored the only goal for the Buccaneers.
Orlando Pirates have secured a place in the Carling Knockout Cup semi-finals following a 1-0 victory over Sekhukhune United in Soweto. This marks their progression to the next round after they have encountered the Sekhukhune United three times this season, all resulting in a Pirates win. Sekhukhune United had a chance to score early but was denied by the referee when Nigerian striker Chibuike Ohizu appeared to be fouled in the box.
In the 35th minute, man of the match Mpho Padime scored the opening goal, leading Orlando Pirates to the semi-finals. The match was documented with the hashtags #MatchDay, #OrlandoPirates, and #OnceAlways on social media. Meanwhile, Banyana Banyana defender Bambanani Mbane scored the first goal for the South African team in their match against FUS Rabat of Morocco, leading to their advancement to the CAF Champions League knockout stages.
