00:30there.

00:36Nice flick on there an opportunity opening up here for

00:40the Pirates. And there's the opening goal five minutes in

00:43Orlando take the lead a simple ball over the top just cut the

00:47home defense to pieces there.

01:00Well, the home fans.

01:02Greeting that opening goal with a deafening silence.

01:07Simple ball over the top a bit of pace in behind maybe a

01:10fortunate first.

01:13Good flick on here.

01:13Then that second touch that I think that was on purpose, but

01:16the ball

01:17perfectly into the run of Mahal and Kota.

01:23And his first appearance in the Champions League five minutes

01:27and he's got his first goal.

01:30And that just what this game needs as well.

01:38Finding that gap between the two central defenders.

01:42A nice turn out of trouble that

01:45from Sassane.

01:46But now they play themselves back into trouble opportunity

01:48knocks here for Brlithdat.

01:50Well, the ball still not cleared into the back post and

01:53there was just no run made.

01:55Coming forwards trying to apply

01:58pressure here.

02:00Boussouf.

02:01Ball whipped in.

02:02Oh, it's fallen nicely for Bengui and there's the

02:05double save by the keeper.

02:07The initial shot deflected.

02:10Hamdi, Hamdi's cross

02:13by the head of Alexandra Abel and she be shot off target.

02:31And now looking for the space to get the shot in but closed

02:33down by the Sagrada Esperanza defenders.

02:38Pirates

02:39looking fluid

02:40coming forwards once again.

02:43Well for Keng over over there

02:45the ball crossed in.

02:46Oh,

02:47he's opened up here and then the shot just

02:49chipped over the bar.

02:52Kota

02:53shoots from distance and that's a second of the game.

02:56What a hit.

02:57What a hit from the 20-year-old

03:01playing in his first Champions League match today.

03:0427 minutes in and he's already scored twice and what a stunner

03:07that is.

03:08He picked the ball up 25 meters out

03:11and just smashed it into the top corner.

03:15Nothing Mustafa Zegba could do about that.

03:20What a start for Orlando Pirates.

03:2225 meters out, smashed it.

03:25Yeah, no one's stopping that.

03:26Well, we nearly got a fingertip on it, didn't he?

03:29Zegba.

03:31But what a hit.

03:35Pure strike.

03:39And the 20-year-old now,

03:41well, he's already looking for a hat-trick

03:43and he could have had a hat-trick actually as well.

03:45He

03:46for Burlisdat

03:49Slimani

03:50and he's got it.

03:52Slimani.

03:56Towering over his opponents, trying to make a nuisance of

03:58himself here.

04:02Hussein Benyada

04:03is going to swing this one in right-footed.

04:05Oh, and Slimani just beat into it and then on the second

04:07effort

04:10this lifts it over the bar.

04:11Islam Slimani takes a knock on the shin.

04:14Selmy,

04:15poor ball out from defense and now

04:17Orlando

04:19back on the attack again and there are plenty of numbers up

04:21here for the Buccaneers.

04:24Oh, nice running there and the ball cut back in

04:26and then the deflection on the shot goes wide and it goes out

04:29for a goal kick.

04:29In fact,

04:31that's when Gagni down in the area.

04:33As Burlisdat

04:34try and get something together here before the break and

04:37that's an important header at the near post.

04:39The ball eventually coming to Selmy and then it's clawed away

04:42at the near post

04:44with Slimani

04:45possibly getting in the way anyway.

04:49Whipped into the near post, Slimani couldn't react in time

04:52to the knockdown.

04:54And that

04:55is that for the first half here in Algiers.

05:02And it's the Orlando Pirates very much in the box seat here

05:06at halftime.

05:07Knockout stages for finishing top two in the group pretty

05:10much.

05:15So back underway then.

05:16Orlando Pirates kicking from right to left in this

05:20second half in their predominantly black strip here.

05:28And Burlisdat, the Reds.

05:31Somewhat unsurprisingly playing all in red here.

05:35That ball nicely brought down

05:37in defense, passed over there to Sebisi

05:40and Selmy

05:43looking for the runner in behind. Picked up the ball.

05:46Picked up by Islam Slimani when he's got support here and

05:49then it's been shanked high and wide by Kanyisa Mayo.

05:54First time we've really seen him get into a forward position

05:56there.

05:57He's been

05:59now an opportunity on the counter-attack.

06:03Well, surely that's offside and the flag does go up.

06:07Well,

06:08Mizian

06:09ran into an offside position there

06:12and really

06:14huge amount of noise and light.

06:17Oh, flicked across at the near post and the keeper very happy

06:21to

06:22just collapse onto that one.

06:30Burlisdat

06:31surging forward again.

06:33The ball cut back across the area and then the shot goes

06:35only just wide and the keeper was nowhere.

06:41There's a substitute again, Eamon Mahias.

06:43Yet more pressure being invited in. Mahias making a real nuisance

06:47of himself since coming on and there is one back.

06:52And it's the South African, I think. Kanyisa Mayo.

06:59Well, it had been coming.

07:10Kanyisa Mayo.

07:13With his first goal of the Champions League campaign.

07:17He certainly looked lively since coming on the corners.

07:20This time taken short, whipped in four red shirts lining up

07:24for it there.

07:26Well, there'll be some

07:28discussion about the lack of defending there from the Orlando

07:31Pirates.

07:32You can't let four players like that just group together

07:35and there was no one with them.

07:38Dion Hurto was the closest Namibian wide player, but he

07:42wasn't tall enough to get in there.

07:44Controlled by Mayo.

07:46Plenty of red shirts coming forwards again for this one.

07:48Ball flicked in across at the near post.

07:51Kept in play.

07:51Yes, it had.

07:52No, it hasn't.

07:55Ball over to this near side where there's a bit of a

07:57numbers game being played.

07:59Mahias nods the ball down for Slimani and it just

08:02takes the deflection and goes over.

08:04That will be

08:06a Burlisdat corner.

08:08So they've absolutely bossed the second half, but they're

08:10already 2-0 down at the break.

08:11So

08:13difficult to get something out of the game, Mahias.

08:18Well, it's taken down just after the ball.

08:21Lacrosse came in.

08:29You've seen all sorts of shenanigans with the

08:35with the foam

08:36in the last few years and ball comes in and there was again

08:39queuing up the red shirts on the edge of the six-yard box.

08:43Not well defended at all by Orlando.

08:46Looked for a moment there like there was an offside on that

08:47left-hand side, but

08:50obviously not.

08:51Nice measured ball in and then the header from Mahias goes

08:54wide.

08:56The referee

08:57looked like he was about to blow his whistle there for a

08:59free kick for dangerous play, but

09:01decided against it.

09:04Nothing given there by the referee.

09:06That's going to be a yellow card for a dive here.

09:09And

09:11Neiman Mahias

09:13furious, his teammates furious as well.

09:15They've got to be careful of getting booked as well.

09:19Scrabbles it out.

09:20We're into the seventh minute of six added on at the end of

09:22this second half now.

09:25All slick into play here.

09:26Opportunity knocks and the shot goes just wide of the

09:28upright and Slimani couldn't get in there

09:31to try and slide it in at the back post either.

09:39And indeed that is an exciting game here

09:42at the Stade de Saint-Geraint in Algiers and it's finished

09:46with three points

09:47for the Orlando Pirates on their return

09:50to Africa's top tier of competition for the first time

09:52in five years.
