Orlando Pirates will watch the final on television. On Friday evening in Cairo, the Sea Robbers suffered a late 3-2 defeat to Pyramids FC. ORLANDO PIRATES OUT OF THE CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE “Congratulations Pyramids for going to the final, second also congratulations to our players, to our group for the fantastic performance that they gave, they gave to our fans during this season, it is been a performance second to none, honestly,” the Orlando Pirates mentor said as quoted by Pan African Football.
“We are out of the competition today after losing our first match in the whole tournament, a tough one to swallow, a tough one to digest, we will need a little bit of time, because I think it is a cruel result, we played a really good game, top performance away from home, against an excellent team but we couldn’t manage to control two moments of the game. “We got the lead two times and they managed to equalize almost immediately after our goals and that was probably the key because we couldn’t make to lead the game a little bit more longer to create uncertainty to the opponent, and in the end of the game, when the game was about to die, one set play, and well executed, took them to the final,” added the Spaniard ahead of his departure from Orlando Pirates at the end of the season. “It is a mix of pride and sadness at the same time, we are getting out of the competition but we do it in good way, or in a way that all of us have to feel proud about our performances throughout the competition.
