But all is well as the Bucs win their group.

The result was, however, not important for the Buccaneers as they had already qualified for the knockout stages with a game to spare. But on Sunday evening they looked impotent in front of goal and could not get the ball into the back of the net. This means Al-Ittihad remains the only team that Pirates did not beat in Group B, having lost to them in the first leg game in Tripoli. Pirates had a good start, but for all their impressive ball possession, they could not break through a determined Al-Ittihad defence.
They also had a penalty appeal denied after Kwame Peprah appeared to be fouled inside the box. Al-Ittihad came back better organised and more determined in the second half and started forging forward.
