Orlando Pirates advanced to the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup after defeating Simba 4-3 on penalties at Orlando Stadium.The Pirates starting line-up saw five changes as Olisa Ndah, Abel Mabaso, Fortune Makaringe, Terrence Dzvukamanja and Thembinkosi Lorch replaced Happy Jele, Siphesihle Ndlovu, Kabelo Dlamini, Goodman Mosele and Thabang Monare.
The Buccaneers won another free-kick two minutes later - this time on the right-hand side of the box. It was curled in by the left foot of Hotto And Ntsikelelo Nyauza could only head wide from inside the six-yard box as a big chance went begging. Soon after, Hotto's corner was headed narrowly wide by Dzvukamanja before Hotto's free-kick went just inches wide as the hosts continued to look a threat from set-pieces going into the interval.The two sides began to get stuck into each other in the second half. Linda Mntambo had come on for Mabaso at half-time and in the 53rd minute he surged forward but fired well wide from range.
The Buccaneers immediately capitalised on their numerical advantage when Peprah headed home from Innocent Maela's cross.
