Orlando Pirates brought a good 3-0 win back home, beating Jwaneng Galaxy in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage play-offs on Sunday afternoon.

Orlando Pirates were served the perfect Valentine's gift on Botswanaa soil, this  great victory has brought the buccaneers  a step 
closer to the group stages of the continental tournament.

The galaxy goal keeper was kept dancing on his toes as the Bucs launched multiple attacks within the first few minutes of the game. However he handled the multiple shots from the bucs very well, until his goal posts 
were permeated by a goal from Pirate's defender Thulami Hlatshwayo, which was as a result of a well placed corner kick from Deon Hotto almost half an hour into the match. 

Galaxy's goal keeper displayed great attempts in saving the match and did not serve the Bucs a win on a silver platter. This was also visible when he made two great close range saves from Dzvukamanja
Happy Jele.

In the second half of  the match the Bucs maintained the momentum, Jean- Marc Mundele and Linda Mntambo secured two more goals which lead the Bucs to it's 3-0 victory.
