WATCH: Heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat for Pirates (The South African)

Orlando Pirates came short in the penalty shootout after playing to a 1-1 draw at the end of extra-time in their CAF Confederation Cup final.

The Bucs defensive duo of Happy Jele and Olisa Ndah could have had some decisive touches halfway through the first 45 minutes, as the Soweto Giants set up camp in opposition quarters, with the skipper heading wide from a sharp cross from a Goodman Mosele cross. It was not to be the end of Piratesโ€™ opportunities at goal, as Thembinkosi Lorch fancies his chances from well out after spotting the keeper off his line in the 23rd minute, but failed to elevate his shot high enough to pose a notable threat.
