With Bucs preparing for the second leg game against Etoile du Sahel away from home, following their 1-1 draw at the Orlando Stadium last weekend, some critics have already ruled out the team's chances of bringing the Confederation Cup home.  

However, The Buccaneers have scored in all seven away matches on their way to the final of the continental competition.

Against Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) in the first round of the competition, Pirates scored two goals in their 2-2 draw in Namboole in April.

It was the same score against CF Mounana in second round game in Libreville. Pirates won 2-0 against AS Kaloum in the play-off round game. 

In the group stages, Bucs scored in all their away games against AC Leopards, CF Sfaxien and Zamalek respectively.

In arguably the best game of this year's competition, Pirates scored four goals against Al Ahly in the semi-finals and eliminated the Egyptian giants with an impressive 5-3 win on aggregate.
