'Did you see good game or not?' MC Alger's Ben Yahia concedes defeat but refuses to speak about ugly scenes witnessed! Coach wants Orlando Pirates to play either Mamelodi Sundowns or Al Ahly in Caf Champions League final

After losing at home by a solitary goal, MC Alger anticipated a favourable result against Orlando Pirates to advance to the Caf Champions League semi-final.

However, they failed to find the back of the net and were eventually knocked out.

The Sea Robbers joined Mamelodi Sundowns, defending champions Al Ahly and Pyramids in the last four.

After the game, Bucs coach Jose Riveiro insisted the Soweto giants deserved to get their semi-final ticket owing to the quality of the game they played.

However, his opposite number Khaled Ben Yahia has a different view that sharply contradicts Riveiro's. He has, nevertheless, wished the Sea Robbers to go all the way and play either Mamelodi Sundowns or Al Ahly in the final.

The 65-year-old further refused to comment on the ugly scenes witnessed, with a section of MC Alger fans finding themselves in trouble with the security.

“Thank you, I’m here, I’m a coach, a technical coach who is here to speak about football and only football, if you have question regarding the game, you can ask me,” he responded when asked about the ugly incidents at Orlando Stadium after the final.

"Unfortunately [we lost] but we played a good game, it was a quality game, a good spectacle, but we didn’t score.

“I congratulate Orlando Pirates for the qualification; I wish wholeheartedly love to Orlando Pirates and I’m hoping they will be finalists,” Ben Yahia continued.

“I will say it once again, I’m here to speak about football, we created opportunities, we were tactically on point, physically on point.

“We dominated the game, unfortunately, the only thing we didn’t have was the goal. Did you see a good game from our team or not?" he concluded.

Pirates are now in the semi-final of both the Caf Champions League and the Nedbank Cup.

The Soweto giants are also chasing the Premier Soccer League title.

With Riveiro leaving after the season ends, imagine how it will feel winning the aforementioned competitions.
