IQembu laseDemocratic Republic of Congo, iSaint-Eloi Lupopo, selifake isikhalo ngokusemthethweni eConfederation of African Football (Caf) ngokumelene ne-Orlando Pirates.
ILupopo ithi abadlali bayo bahlaselwe ngokomzimba begodu bathi kwafuthwa “ikhemikhali enobuthi” egumbini labo lokushintsha ngaphambi komdlalo wesibili wesigaba sesibili seCaf Champions League.
Iqembu leLupopo lakhupha i-Orlando Pirates emqhudelwaneni ngemuva kokuwina ngamaphenalthi ngo-5-4 eSoweto, ngemva kokuthi imidlalo emibili iphelele ngo-3-3 kumphumela wawo wonke.
Imidlalo yomabili ibhujiswe ziziphazamiso nezidumo, kwaba nokuphikisana okukhulu ngaphambi komdlalo wokuqala eLubumbashi kwalandelwa yizinxushunxushu ngesikhathi sokuphindela e-Orlando Stadium.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Orlando Pirates nayo ifake izikhalo zayo kuCaf, ibhekise kuMqeqeshi weLupopo uGuy Bukasa kanye nabadlali ababili — uHenoc Molia noRamos Khashala Wanet.
I-Orlando Pirates ithi uBukasa bekangavumelekile ukuhlala ebhentshini ngenxa yokumiswa okuphuma esigamekweni se-Under-20 Afcon lapho adlala khona neNingizimu Afrika.
Bathi futsi uMolia wabhaliswa ngaphandle kwesikhathi sokudlulisa abadlali, kanti ukusebenziseka kukaWanet kuyaphikiswa ngenxa yezinkinga zamaphasipoti amabili.
Umabhalane omkhulu weLupopo, uJean Luc Kapend, uqinisekisile kuKickOff.com ukuthi ikilabhu icele iCaf ukuthi ivimbe i-Orlando Stadium.
Bafuna futsi ukuthi kuthathwe isenzo sokujezisa iqembu laseNingizimu Afrika.
“Kuyamangalisa ukuthi ngasohlangothini lwenu akukho okuvezwayo — nathi sifake izikhalo ngokumelene ne-Orlando Pirates,” kutjho uKapend.
“Sifake izikhalo ngesenzo sokuhlukumeza abadlali bethu nabaqeqeshi, kanye nokufutha amakhemikhali anobuthi emagumbini wokushintsha.
