Orlando Pirates forward Kwame Peprah delighted to reach CAF Confederation Cup final
Ghanaian forward Kwame Peprah has expressed his excitement after helping Orlando Pirates confirmed their spot in this year’s CAF Confederation Cup final despite a 1-0 defeat to Al Ahli Tripoli on Sunday.
The 21-year-old, who lasted for 68 minutes before being replaced by Dzvukamanja put incredible performances as Pirates held their nerve to march to the final at Orlando Stadium.
Pirates will take on Morocco’s Renaissance Berkane, who defeated DR Congo’s TP Mazembe 4-1 at home to advance 4-2 on aggregate.
“Finally, we are through to the finals.Yes we are ready!!! And oh yes, the fans. Our amazing fans, we love you all,” Peprah tweeted after the game.

Pirates were 2-0 up after the first leg away against Al Ahly but the return game was anything but routine as they struggled on a slippery surface in rainy Soweto.
Al Ahly scored on the stroke of fulltime through substitute Ali Aqoub but were unable to get an all-important second to level the aggregate score.
Berkane, won the Confederation Cup in 2020, while Pirates lost in the 2015 final but have never before won the trophy. The final is being played in Uyo, Nigeria on Friday.
Peprah has scored seven goals in 33 games in competitions so far for Orland Pirates.
