Orlando Pirates on Sunday evening crowned a glorious weekend for SA teams in Africa. It was a rare feat for SA teams to come away with a 100 percent win record even though one of the opposition teams is the continent's top-ranked team.

Pirates handed the Royal eSwatini Police team, Royal Leopards a 6-2 hiding after trailing 2-0 early in proceedings. Before the start of the match, eSwatini protestors tried to prevent Leopards from entering the stadium, in a bid to embarrass eSwatini King Mswati III for his atrocities. Mbombela police intervened, and Leopards made their way into the stadium.
