Caf Champions League: Orlando Pirates optimistic despite Green Eagles defeat - Jele

Orlando Pirates captain Happy Jele admitted his side they will have to improve ahead of their Caf Champions League second leg clash against Zambian side Green Eagles.

The Buccaneers opened their 2019/20 continental qualifying campaign with a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Eagles in Zambia on Saturday afternoon.

Spencer Sautu's solitary goal handed Tonka Tweende a historic win in the team's debut appearance in the continental tournament.

Jele, who is hoping to lead Bucs to their third Champions League final this season, is disappointed with the result after his team created chances which they failed to convert.
