Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane has given Orlando Pirates their due after the Soweto giants advanced to the CAF Confederations Cup final, where they will meet Morocco's RS Berkane.

Pirates overcame Libya's Al Ahly Tripoli 2-1 on aggregate despite losing 1-0 at the Orlando Stadium last night. The final against Berkane will take place at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in the Nigerian city of Uyo on Friday night.

Mosimane said in a tweet:

"I want to congratulate my fellow South African team for making Caf Confederation Cup Final. When I conducted the Caf draw,I tipped them to make the final. Thank for making it true."

Mosimane's Ahly, on the other hand, qualified for a third consecutive Champions League final under his tutelage following a 6-2 aggregate victory over ES Setif. Should they defeat Wydad Casablanca next week Monday, it will be Mosimane's third African title with the Egyptian giants and fourth overall.

Incidentally, if the Buccaneers and the Red Devils win their respective finals, the clubs will meet in the African Super Cup in August, where Mosimane would pit his wits against a South African team once again. For good measure, in his time in North Africa, Mosimane's team defeated Kaizer Chiefs 3-0 in last year's Champions League final.

This is on top of pitting his wits against Mamelodi Sundowns on four occasions, a 3-1 aggregate victory in last year's tournament in the quarterfinals, and losing 1-0 home and away in this season's group stages.
