'Cocomelon Football' will want to set Cairo alight yet again

MOHAU Nkota. Relebohile Mofokeng. These two youngsters have fond memories of their last three visits to north Africa this season.

'Cocomelon Football' will want to set Cairo alight yet again

As such when Orlando Pirates navigate their last pathway to the CAF Champions League final all eyes will be on them.

Pirates will face Pyramids at 30 June Stadium in Cairo on Friday (8pm) in the semi-final second leg on the back of a stalemate in Orlando a week ago.

The Sea Robbers need to win the game or at least play to a scoring draw to sail to the last hurdle - the final of the competition since 2013.

But given that they'll have Nkota and Mofokeng at their disposal that will be a double-dose of boost on top of the fact that Pyramids do not have an away goal.

The 20-year-olds have made five goal contributions between them this season in north Africa, scoring four goals and registering one assist.

Nkota, who was making his first international trip with the team, showed that he has nerves of steel as he scored a brace in the 2-1 win over CR Belouizdad of Algeria.

The opener, which calmed his nerves, was assisted by none other than Mofokeng, who played with him during their days in the reserves.
