After the Orlando Pirates defeated SuperSport United 2-0 at Orlando Stadium, head coach Jose Riveiro said he was happy with the team’s performance in a post-game interview.
Riveiro was unaffected by the Buccaneers’ meagre three shots on goal during the game, underscoring the significance of the victory in maintaining their undefeated start to the league season.
Evidence Makgopa gave the Pirates a significant lead that would ultimately define the game by scoring barely two minutes into the contest, setting the tone early on.
Deep into stoppage time, Deon Hotto then scored a late goal to complete the victory, guaranteeing the Pirates all three points.
With the victory, the squad has now won four of their first four league games, securing their top spot in the standings. “The day we don’t create opportunities, we don’t enter the box, or we don’t push forward in numbers,” Riveiro continued. I want the spectators to be on the edge of their seats every few minutes because they come to see emotion.”
