After a goalless draw in Mauritius last week, the Buccaneers found themselves in spot of bother, conceding an early goal against the amateur side. But Pirates scored three unanswered goals, all in the first half, to survive.
They next play the winner of the match between African Stars of Namibia and Gabon’s Mangasport to see who’ll advance to the group stages of Africa’s elite club competition.
