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

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

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

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.
