CAIRO – Goals by Kermit Erasmus, Thamsanqa Gabuza, Thabo Rakhale and Thabo Matlaba vaulted Orlando Pirates through to the final of the CAF Confederation Cup when they beat Al Ahly 4-3 (5-3 on aggregate) at Suez Stadium on Sunday night.

Ahly started the match off on a high with the hosts putting the Sea Robbers under pressure as Eric Tinkler’s men conceded a free kick, but Bekhit’s attempt was off target failing to trouble Felipe Ovono.

Ovono was the busier of the two keepers as he continued to receive threats from the Egyptians, and he made another save to deny the Red Devils with defenders Happy Jele and Ayanda Gcaba a bit shaky at the back.

However, after 10 minutes of play, Tinkler’s men settled in the game and made good moves going forward although they couldn’t trouble Sherif Ekramy.

The hosts failing to find a goal in the 30th minute, Malick Evouna wasted a beautiful chance as he blasted his shot over the bar from six-yards out following a great set up by John Antwi.
