Orlando Pirates seek redemption in quest for glory

Their tense first leg in Johannesburg last week ended in a goalless draw.

However, the match was rife with drama after the intervention of VAR that controversially disallowed two goals from Pyramids, leaving the North African players and their fans alike eager for redemption.

This week, Pyramids and Orlando Pirates benefited from a brief hiatus in their domestic leagues due to match postponements, allowing them ample time to regroup and refine their strategies.

This extended rest period could prove vital as each team aims to harness their momentum.

Pirates arrived in Cairo on Tuesday and will try to snatch a ticket to the final, although Pyramids coach Krunoslav Jurcic believes his team will fare better in the second leg.
