Orlando Pirates midfielder Talente Mbatha wants his outfit to avoid defeat against Pyramids in the CAF Champions League semifinals return leg.

The South African outfit played out a pulsating goalless draw in the first leg held at the Iconic FNB Stadium.

With the return clash set for April 25 in Cairo, the midfielder has emphasized his remain unbeaten in the current continental campaign, urging the team to maintain same mentality to achieve success.

“So, since we are playing away and winning, we take it as an advantage for us. Because we went to Cairo and managed to get a result.

So for us, the main thing is to stay focused and keep playing with the mentality we have because we haven’t lost in the CAF Champions League. Therefore, we need to go back to Cairo and do the same thing – apply the same mentality.

For them, it was a goal to put us on the flank and catch us on the counterattack, because the right flank couldn’t keep up with the left-back, so I think it was their own mentality because they were playing away. They tried to hold onto the one point they already had,” Mbatha stated.
