Orlando Pirates were looking for a win against Sekhukhune United and they got it. The Buccaneers won 2-1 against SU and had to hold on in the dying minutes of the game to avoid conceding again.

Before the game, interim co-coach Mandla Ncikazi said that a win would be crucial for the Bucs. He said that they wanted nothing less than a win and they knew that they had to pick up all three points. The good result sees Pirates picking up, grabbing a win finally in their last five games.

Orlando Pirates fans react to advancing in CAFCC competition

Briefly News previously reported that Orlando Pirates have advanced to the next round of the CAF Confederations Cup and their fans reacted to the news on social media. The Bucs won 1-0 in their encounter against Diables Noirs and it was a goal from Happy Jele that got them through.

Sometimes in sports, the most important thing is getting the result and getting the job done. This is exactly what Orlando Pirates did in the game by scoring early and holding on until the end of the match to get the results.

Usually, fans get excited when their favourite team wins but Orlando Pirates fans were not entirely convinced by the performance.
