PIRATES HELD TO A DRAW

When it comes to derby, I can't make up my mind. Knowingly enough where my heart belongs to, but my mind says something else ☺.

There's something spectacular about Orlando Pirates FA. They are eagerly passionate and fearless to compete elsewhere in the world, but more importantly they play as a unit.

A late equaliser dented Orlando Pirates hopes of lifting the second continental trophy when Amar Jamel Sahel's stand-in captain scored a goal in 3 minutes remaining.

Away goal is an advantage for Etoile, and Buccaneers will now have to score in Sousse to stand any chance of coming back with a win. Striker Thamsanqa Gabuza's goal had put Pirates in front in the 36th minute. But one sleep of a second caused Pirates to draw the match against E'toile Sportive du Sahel in the first leg at Orlando Stadium, Johannesburg last night.

"Having conceded at home is what we didn't want to do. But we also didn't want to loseit 1-0 and have to chase two goals, " said coach Eric Tinkler.

The second leg will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Sousse in Tunisia on November 29.
