Cape Town - Orlando Pirates earned a point in their CAF Champions League group stage opener after a goalless draw with Zimbabwean outfit FC Platinum on Saturday.
The game at Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo provided few highlights as the South African visitors failed to capitalise on their opportunities.
The result means that all four teams in Group B have just the one point to show for their efforts after the first round of fixtures.
