The South Africans had to be at their best to deny the hosts and walked away with a clean sheet ahead of the second leg
Orlando Pirates have been held to a goalless draw by Diables Noirs in the first leg of the first round of the Caf Confederation Cup at Alphonse Massamba-Debat Stadium on Friday evening.
The Soweto heavyweights opted to start a seemingly defensive side in a bid to ensure they do not concede away to the Congolese outfit.
It was the hosts who started the match on a high, pushing for an opener through Hardy Binguila and Grace Djimbi, who ensured the likes of debutant Kwanda Mngonyama and Sam Bongani stayed alert to stop the attacks.
