Orlando Pirates from South Africa won 1-0 against Namibia’s African Stars in the first leg of the second-round preliminary of the CAF Champions League on Saturday.

Tshepang Moremi scored the only goal in the 78th minute, giving Pirates an important advantage. This late goal was key as they took the win on African soil.

African Stars could not score an equaliser, leaving Pirates with a narrow lead in the two-legged match. This result boosts Pirates’ chances of moving on to the group stage of Africa’s top club tournament.

Now, African Stars need to come back in the second leg in South Africa to keep their hopes alive in the tournament.
