Orlando Pirates returned to CAF Confederation Cup action when they traveled to the Benjamin Mkapa stadium in Tanzania to face Simba SC on Sunday evening.

It was a disappointing experience for the Buccaneers who went down 1-0 on the night after Shomari Kapombe’s penalty proved to be the difference!

Mandla Ncikazi, Orlando Pirates’ co-coach has since reacted to the defeat and opened up on the inhumane treatment his side were subjected to in Tanzania.

It’s going to be tough – Fadlu Davids

“It’s a tough match. Our analyst has already gone through their key players, their structure, the way Simba SC play,” Orlando Pirates co-coach Fadlu Davids said as quoted by FarPost.

“We know they are going to allow 60,000 fans in, full capacity at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium, so we are emotionally ready for the match number one.

“We have to pick the players up. We have to keep the focus on what is lying ahead for Orlando Pirates. We will miss Paseka Mako. I am sure he will be out of the game.

“But then we have to do it for him [after his horrific accident during the previous match]. We have to go there and be brave and pull up the sleeves and roll up the face in the first leg.”
