'Nkota is better than Messi, next up is Al Ahly at a fully packed Orlando Stadium! Pirates remain humble, you won't hear us screaming stupid things like 'we want Real Madrid'' - Fans

The Buccaneers kicked off their continental campaign with a hard-fought victory in Algeria thanks to the briliance of young Mohau Nkota.

In a game where 20-year-old Nkota stole the show with a brilliant brace in his Caf Champions League debut, Relebohile Mofokeng dazzled with two superb assists.

On the other side, Khanyisa Mayo made his mark for CR Belouizdad, coming off the bench to score a consolation goal. The match, played at the iconic Stade du 5 Juillet 1962 on Tuesday, was a thrilling contest from start to finish.

Take a look at what supporters had to say about the Buccaneers' impressive win, as highlighted by GOAL.

    Sibisi is a little shaky

    Bucs backline is a bit exposed, Sibisi is a little shaky at clearing dangerous balls out his area. Thalenthe nearly costed the team as was so casual forgetting that he was in a danger area. So far besides those little errors, which occurred at the second half the overall performance was superb.-

    Champions league is all about results

    Pirates is not a team that plays aeroplane football so it wasn't going to be easy for them 2nd half since these guys played that brand of football. Champions League is all about results, not beautiful football - Sandile Mholi Ngobese
