Orlando Pirates staged a dramatic comeback but were knocked out of the CAF Champions League after a 3-3 aggregate draw with Saint Eloi Lupopo, losing 5-4 in the penalty shootout. The South African side overturned a 0-3 first-leg deficit with a 3-0 second-leg victory in Soweto, only for penalties to end their campaign. The exit costs Pirates significant prize money, limiting them to $100,000 instead of the $700,000 minimum for the group stage.
Orlando Pirates fought back to secure a 1-1 draw against rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the Betway Premiership Soweto Derby on Sunday. The match at a Johannesburg stadium was delayed by 45 minutes due to late fan arrivals and marred by a pre-game scuffle. Pule Mmodi scored for Chiefs before Kamogelo Sebelebele equalised for Pirates.
