Pirates held to a draw by minnows in Champions League

Misfiring Orlando Pirates kicked off their Caf Champions League campaign with a disappointing goalless draw against Madagascar minnows Disciples FC at Cote d’Or National Sports Complex in Mauritius on Sunday.

The first leg of the preliminary round was staged in Mauritius due to a lack of facilities that meet Caf standards in Madagascar.

Buccaneers coach Jose Riveiro named a strong starting line-up that included Monnapule Saleng, Patrick Maswanganyi, Relebohile Mofokeng, Tshegofatsho Mabasa, Deon Hotto and Makhehlene Makhaula, for the clash.
