CAF Confederation Cup: Orlando Pirates 90 minutes from the final

Orlando Pirates hosts Al Ahli Tripoli this Sunday, May 15, 2022, at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, as part of the return match of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Victorious in the first leg with a score of 2-0, the Bucanneers are 90 minutes from a return to the final of a continental cup, the CAF Confederation Cup in particular. The last time the South Africans reached this level of the competition was in 2015, when they were beaten by Tunisia’s Etoile Sportive du Sahel.

Orlando Pirates dream of playing a first continental final since 2015. After seven years of scarcity, the Johannesburg club is one step away from celebrating its resurrection. Happiness will go through a victory or a draw against Al Ahli Tripoli. Orlando Pirates already made a big leap a week ago by winning the first leg away with a score of 2-0.

But Orlando Pirates could be disillusioned if he is content only with his achievements. Since Al Ahli Tripoli has not said its last word. The Libyan club, 13th time national champion, is capable of spoiling the party in Johannesburg. This would be the ideal scenario for the foals of Fathi Al Jabal.

This match between Orlando Pirates and Al Ahli Tripoli starts at 4 p.m. GMT.
