JOHANNESBURG – Orlando Pirates will be looking to make it three out three for South Africa this evening against Algerian giants ES Setif, two-time Champions League winners, at a neutral venue in Ghana.
Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs were triumphant in CAF matches last Saturday and, in a week where South Africa’s Patrice Motsepe is about to ascend African football’s throne, a Pirates victory will add a fitting touch for the Rainbow Nation.
Pirates were not able to play their Confederation Cup Group A match in Algeria because of visa restrictions.
Hence, CAF ordered the Algerians to find an alternative venue that is within reach of the South Africans and the match will be played at Stade Accra Sports Stadium, a venue in the Ghanaian capital.
