CAF CL: Vipers' tormentors Jwaneng Galaxy shock Orlando Pirates

Zimbabwean forward Daniel Msendami scored the solitary goal in the 21st minute at the National Stadium in Botswana's capital, Gaborone, separating the two sides ahead of the second leg meeting in South Africa. 

The South African Sea Robbers face an uphill task of overturning the result at home on September 29.

Ahead of the do-or-die tie, Orlando Pirates also face domestic challenges against champions Mamelodi Sundowns and Stellenbosch FC in the days leading to the second leg. 

Meanwhile, Vipers SC have placed the CAF Champions League disappointment behind them and started off the 2023/24 Uganda Premier League with a precious away victory over Gaddafi FC in Jinja.

Captain Milton Karisa and new-signing Mohammed Salem found the back of the net in the first half. 

Gaddafi's Benson Muhindo converted from the spot in the second half to grant a consolation goal for the hosts.
