EXTRA TIME: How Sundowns and Orlando Pirates fans reacted to Caf Champions League losses
Both South African PSL clubs lost in the Caf Champions League on Saturday evening.
Wydad Casablanca beat Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 in Morocco. At the same time, in Guinea, Orlando Pirates lost 2-1 to Horoya.
Bucs desperately needed a victory to go through to the knockout stages but never looked like taking the initiative away from home.
The best social media Tweet for Pirates was a video showcasing a Bucs fan named Mohommed in Guinea. You can watch the video filmed by Pirates media officer Thandi Merafe below.
Then one can read all the post match reactions from the fans who were pointing out what went wrong for Pirates.
We also include reactions from Sundowns supporters, who were not very upset with the defeat. In fact they expressed their pride to represent South Africa in the last eight.

72 mins: Goal: Mandela has been threatening & eventually squeezes a goal home after rounding his man & firing at goal. The ball clips Sandilands on its way over the line. 2-0 to Horoya #CAFCL

This team was not even strong... It was easily beatable. They ddnt even threaten us too much and yet we lost against them. Wish khosa can loan me this team for a season to coach it, I am sure I can do much better for free

Our Centre Defence (Jele & Ndengane) is too slow n useless, similarly to our midfield (Nyatama & Mlambo) and our over crowded coaching bench!

The four points dropped against FC Platinum really cost Orlando Pirates. Disappointing to see them knocked out of the #CAFCL
