FRANCISTOWN: Orapa United endured a frustrating night after they were dumped out of the CAF Confederations Cup by visiting Atletico Petroleos De Luanda of Angola on Wednesday night.

United were beaten 2-0 in a poorly attended second leg clash played at the Francistown Sports Complex.  Going into the match United knew that they had a mammoth task if they were to overturn a 4-0 defeat they suffered in Luanda a week ago.  Last night's loss took the overall aggregate score to 6-0. 

The major highlight of the match was in the 40th-minute when the stadium floodlights went off, which delayed the match for about seven minutes.  In the first half, the visitors were content with sitting back while United, who had brought in an array of attacking players, enjoyed a large chunk of possession.
