Ghanaian duo Richard Ofori and Kwame Peprah were in action as Orlando Pirates lost 2-0 to SuperSport United in the final match of the South African Premiership season.
The defeat sees Pirates fail to qualify for Africa next season - finishing 6th on the league table with 44 points after 30 games played.
Ofori lasted the entire duration of the game while Peprah was replaced in the 80th minute by Tshegofatso Mabasa.
Needing at least a five-goal victory to snatch a CAF Confederation Cup place, the visitors fell behind on 19 minutes when Fortune Makaringe headed into his own goal.
The fate of Pirates was sealed on 69 minutes when Zambian Gamphani Lungu converted a retaken penalty to double the lead at a cold night near Pretoria.
The Buccaneers struck the woodwork, missed a sitter, had a goal ruled offside and captain Happy Jele was red carded for a last-defender foul that led to the penalty.
Failure to qualify for Africa will increase the pressure on Orlando Pirates’ co-coaches Fadlu Davids and Mandla Ncikazi with reports hinting at the hiring of a European coach.
