• Orlando Pirates beat Ecuador's Independiente del Valle to remain unbeaten during their pre-season friendlies
• The Buccaneers have played two games while in Spain and won both, with Patrick Maswanganyi scoring in both
• Pirates' supporters believe that the team can take on Manchester City after their performances in Spain so far

Orlando Pirates’ supporters are on cloud nine right now.

The Soweto-based side notched up another win during their pre-season friendlies, and fans can’t stop raving about the side.

As noted by Soccer Laduma, the Buccaneers beat Independiente del Valle 3-1 to maintain their winning start to pre-season.

New-signing Patrick Maswanganyi was again on the scoresheet for the team during their win. Maswanganyi also scored Pirates’ only goal during their first friendly against Maccabi Tel Aviv.

With the new signings fitting in well and the team gelling together nicely, supporters are excited about what the future holds for their team.

Here's how fans reacted to the result.

@Wandi_Star:

“People need to understand something. Independiente del Valle, the team Orlando Pirates beat 3-1, are the reigning Copa Sudamericana champions. That’s the Europa League of the CAF Confederations Cup of South America. They beat a very decent side here.”

@KenyanPirates:

“Our new signings are blending in well. I really can't wait to see this new Pirates team in the new season.”

@5SkippersBucs:

“Guys, we must not show mercy this season...We can't dominate in Spain and fail here. Anyway, Kaizer Chiefs is in Spain too, but the S in Spain is silent.”

@wexa11:

“We are conquering Europe.

@ReubenManiac:

“Makes me proud to be an Orlando Pirates supporter.”

@MoruduPat82:

“Give us Man City now.”

@tazzmania310:

“Can we just register the La Liga. We can't be this good only to face @KaizerChiefs again, no man!”
