‘Jose Riveiro is running out of ideas! Orlando Pirates should have lost to Pyramids; Patrick Maswanganyi is very useless & Mohau Nkota didn't show up, but Bucs need Monnapule Saleng' - Fans

The Soweto giants failed to make the most of their home ground advantage in their clash against the North African side.

In a Caf Champions League semi-final, first leg match characterised by VAR drama, the Buccaneers were lucky to avoid defeat in the 0-0 draw with Pyramids FC at FNB Stadium on Sunday.

It was a match the Buccaneers were less promising in attack, with little hope of scoring goals.

Fans react to what transpired and GOAL takes a look at what they have been saying.
