SOCCER: Oupa Manyisa says and believed 'Being underdogs made it easy' - Ace Many have labeled it the ‘unthinkable’ but Orlando Pirates’ 3-0 win over Al Ahly in a CAF Champions League Group Stage on Sunday came as no surprise to Bucs midfielder Oupa Manyisa. In an interview published on the club’s official website, Manyisa said Pirates refused to allow history to dictate the outcome of the game. “Football is won on the playing field not off it. We came into this match with the same mentality as in our match against TP Mazembe,” Manyisa said. Ahly are not only the defending champions but have also won the Champions League more than any other club on the continent and had not been beaten at home in 23 matches since 2002. The midfielder popularly known as ‘Ace’ added that the will to fly the country’s flag high also added fuel to their drive of accomplishing what had looked like mission impossible.
