Orlando Pirates have been like a raging bull. Whenever they have been backed into a corner – with nowhere else to go – and written off, they have smashed those standing between them and their destination. That’s why they’re in the Caf Confederation Cup final.

But when the club is on top, they lose their bull-like demeanour and become nothing more than a domesticated cow which can be patted to sleep without any resistance.
That’s why they’re struggling in the Premiership. And this is why it might be a blessing in disguise that they conceded a goal against Etoile du Sahel, to draw the first leg of the final 1-1 at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.
Now, they have to go to Sousse in Tunisia on Sunday evening and do something that hasn’t been done by any club in this competition. That is to either get a score-draw (2-2 or higher would seal the title) at Stade Olympique de Sousse, or get the first win by a visiting team at the venue.
Trampling over North African giants’ fortresses is not something new to the club. They ended Al Ahly’s 10-year unbeaten run at home in the CAF Champions League when they beat them 3-0 in 2013 in El-Gouna.
In that year they also defeated Esperance in their own backyard.
