Orlando Pirates will relish taking on African giants Al Ahly at Orlando Stadium on Sunday, coach Roger de Sa said.
“This is why we play football, why we compete, we want to have these moments,” De Sa said on Friday, ahead of his side’s final group A match against the Egyptians.
It is now one game away from a semi-finals berth in the Caf Champions league.
“Six months ago nobody thought we’d be this close to the semifinals and now we just have to grab this opportunity.”
Pirates could move to top spot of the group if they beat Al Ahly and provided AC Leopards do not triumph over Zamalek in their match. Pirates and Leopards are equal on seven points. – Sapa
