Orlando Pirates youngster Mohau Nkota described scoring a brace against CR Belouizdad in the CAF Champions League on Tuesday as a dream come true.

There was a time when Orlando Pirates' sensational attacker Mohau Nkota was in doubt if his professional career will ever begin.

With Pirates applying a low block in the second half, Belouizdad took control of the match and they were rewarded for their constant threat through substitute Khanyisa Mayo who headed home from a corner kick. It was the Bafana Bafana’s first goal for the Algerian club having joined them from Cape Town City at the beginning of the season.

Mohau Nkota's brace was enough to hand Orlando Pirates all three points against Algeria’s CR Belouizdad in the CAF CL group stages.
