Orlando Pirates labored to a 1-1 draw
against Tunisian side, Esperance in the CAF Champions League second leg
encounter in Tunis on Saturday to earn a place in the final of the CAF
Champions League.
A fortnight ago, Orlando Pirates held
Esperance to a goalless draw at the Orlando Stadium.
“This is a proud moment for the Premier
Soccer League when one of its members achieves such a milestone. We would like
to congratulate Orlando Pirates management, technical staff and players for
reaching the finals of the Champions League and I would also like to invite the
football family in the country to join me as we wish them the best of luck when
they play in the CAF Champions League final,” De Villiers said.
Orlando Pirates is the only South
African side to have won the CAF Champions League trophy – back in 1995.
They will get an opportunity to add a
second star in the two-legged Champions League final.
