**Orlando Pirates Take Control in CAF Confederation Cup Semi-Final**
Orlando Pirates are in a strong position to reach the CAF Confederation Cup final after securing a 1-0 victory over Egypt’s Al Ahly in the first leg of their semi-final in Soweto on Saturday.
The only goal of the match came early, with Thamsanqa Gabuza finding the net just 10 minutes into the game. The crucial goal gives the South African side a narrow lead ahead of next week’s return leg in Cairo.
Meanwhile, the other semi-final will take place on Sunday, with Etoile du Sahel, featuring Baghdad Bounedjah, set to face Zamalek at the Sousse Stadium.
