CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Two first half goals sealed South Africa’s Orlando Pirates a 2-0 win at Al Ahly Tripoli in Libya on Sunday, taking a healthy lead home in the African Confederation Cup semi-final. Pirates host the return leg in Soweto next Sunday and will be heavily fancied to progress to the final after goals from Innocent Maela and Goodman Mosele in the first leg. Earlier on Sunday, TP Mazembe's John Bakata scored five minutes into stoppage time to beat Renaissance Berkane 1-0 in the first leg of their semi-final in Lubumbashi. The result handed the side from the Democratic Republic of Congo a slender lead going into next Sunday’s return leg. (Writing by Mark Gleeson in Cape Town)
