Orlando Pirates defied the odds to claim maximum points against CR Belouizdad in Group C's Caf Champions League outing staged at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algeria on Tuesday night.
Mohau Nkota's first-half brace was all the Sea Robbers needed to get the valuable win despite a spirited second-half fight back from the hosts who got their sole goal through Bafana Bafana international Khanyisa Mayo.
Have a look at what the football lovers in Mzansi said after the Sea Robbers's win in the continental assignment.

Patrick Maswanganyi needs to stop overcomplicating play. He holds the ball for so long and doesn't have awareness of his surroundings. He's a skillful player but he does unnecessary things. Well done for the win – Teboho Bok
You guys have been winning and I hate that! I'm just here to let you know that I don’t like this team, never will – Mrzeefosho

Good team this Orlando Pirates, but they seem to not know how to manage the game by keeping possession instead of going to give the opponent the ball and have to defend time and again. The team must know when the opponent is coming strong and try to neutralize them, sometimes the team needs to slow the pace of the game especially when an opponent is gaining momentum and you're struggling and feeling the pressure – Tshi Mphaphuli
Imagine how lonely Nabi is at Kaizer Chiefs, Pirates ruling Soweto. Thank you Jose Riveiro – Sons Sania
Nkota is the second-best best youngster after Mofokeng
Imagine not sleeping waiting for pirates to lose and tomorrow you have to wake up at 3 am and catch a taxi to work – Gregory Mkhaya
There are no extra points for a good performance. This is Champions League football only results matter – Mabaso Sunnyboy
Don't pirates have Maswanganyi's replacement because one day we will suffer an injury – Farell Mushaphi
Mohau Nkota plays like a natural striker, with great positioning, sharp anticipation, and a classy left foot. His fearless shots and perfect execution of the inverted wing role are truly impressive – Dumi Mdluli
The second-best young player in the country after Relebohile Mofokeng is Mohau Nkota – Bono Rapudi
