Orlando Pirates Brace for CAF Champions League Duel with Jwaneng Galaxy
Orlando Pirates are poised to continue their quest towards the CAF Champions League group stage as they prepare to host Jwaneng Galaxy at the Orlando Stadium. The South African side carries a 2-0 lead from the first leg held in Gaborone, Botswana, offering them a significant advantage in this second preliminary round clash.
The first-leg victory was secured through goals by Tshegofatso Mabasa and Deon Hotto, placing the Pirates in a strong position against the Botswana champions. The home side, under the stewardship of coach Jose Riveiro, aims to avoid a repeat of the previous season’s exit at the same stage against Jwaneng Galaxy.
