Watch the highlights as Orlando Pirates suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Esperance Tunis on Tuesday afternoon in their Caf Champions League Group B clash in Tunisia.
Coming into the game the two sides were level on 5 points a piece and occupied the top two spots after the 0-0 draw at the Orlando Stadium in the beginning of the month.
Pirates were arguably unlucky not to walk away with the three points in that encounter, but the same could not be said of the clash at the Stade Olympique 07 Novemre in Tunis.

FT || @ESTuniscom 2-0 @orlandopirates. No joy for the Bucs as they leave Tunisia in defeat for the 1st time against their hosts. Lots to think about ahead of the next game as this result throws things wide open in Group B

The defending champions showed their class and could have had more goals if it were not for the heroics of Wayne Sandilands in the Pirates goal.
The result sees the Buccaneers stay on five points and drop to third in group with Horoya moving into second with seven points after their 2-0 victory over FC Platinum. Esperance moved to the top of the group with eight points after all team have played four times.
