The story
Orlando Pirates bagged all three points in the first round of the CAF Champions League group stages on Tuesday, overcoming Algerian giants CR Belouizdad, 2-1.
The Buccaneers got off to a blinder in Algiers with a brilliant first half brace from right winger, Mohau Nkota, who was assisted by partner-in-crime, Relebohile Mofokeng.
The attacking sensations have combined well this season, seeing Mofokeng playing a role in all of Nkota's four goals so far this season.
As anticipated, Mofokeng and Nkota received a flood of praise online, with fans affectionately referring to them as the 'Cocomelon Football' duo, drawing a comparison between their youthful energy and the popular children's YouTube show.
