Al-Ittihad got on the board inside 20 minutes. Youssef En-Nesyri finished well to put them ahead. Orlando Pirates drew level moments from half-time. The Soweto giants had to shuffle the pack heavily because of prior World Cup delays, forcing a makeshift lineup. Allegri’s men then produced another late winner to wrap things up. En-Nesyri kept up his recovery routine while playing. Allegri ran the side for the full duration.
