Orlando Pirates trounce Eswatini side Royal Leopards in CAF Confederations Cup

Earlier Sports Brief reported that Orlando Pirates got their CAF Confederations Cup campaign back on track with a thumping 6-2 win over Royal Leopards of Eswatini.

Mzwandile Mabelesa put Leopards into an early lead in the fifth minute after it deflected off Pirates defender Happy Jele. The match had hardly settled when the 'home' team went 2-0 up three minutes later thanks to South African striker Thabiso Mokenkoane's header from a header after a pin-point cross from Mancoba Maseko.

This appeared to kickstart the lacklustre Buccaneers into life as Machawe Dlamini, unfortunately, redirected an awkward Kabelo Dlamini cross past his own goalkeeper into the back of the net to make it 2-1.
