Ghanaian striker Kwame Peprah starred for his South African side Orlando Pirates as they defeat Al Ahli Tripoli in the first leg of the Caf Confederations Cup.

Orlando Pirates took a commanding lead in their CAF Confederation Cup semi-final tie after defeating Al Ahli Tripoli 2-0 in Libya on Sunday night.

The Soweto giants got off to the perfect start as Innocent Maela got the opening goal after just eight minutes with a close-range finish following an error from the Al Ahli shot-stopper.

Bafana Bafana international Goodman Mosele was the man to get his name on the score-sheet with a finish in the box as the visitors secured an important second away goal.

Orlando Pirates were excellent in their 2-0 win over Al Ahli Tripoli in a Caf Confederation Cup semi-final first-leg fixture at the Martyrs of February Stadium on Sunday evening.

The hard-working Peprah did everything but score, and was in any case heavily involved in both goals. He led the line superbly and gave Pirates a physical focal point up front.
