Pirates coach Riveiro unahppy following Richards Bay draw

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro says a 0-0 draw against Richards Bay was not what the club expected.

This was the seventh time this season that the Buccaneers dropped points.

Riveiro after the game, said his team was unlucky.

“Well, 0-0 again. Not the result that we were expecting to collect here tonight,” Riveiro told the media.

“Not a good beginning of the game, they started the game much better than us, much more connected. We were not playing the way we wanted.

Riveiro not delivering results this season

“We started to control the game better in the latter stages of the first half. In the second half we fully dominated the game, we came close to scoring in several chances,” said the Pirates coach.

Riveiro has had a mixed season and the only silverlining was that he won the MTN8 title.

“We’re not really the luckiest team in the world. But it’s that time of game that sometimes we even lose in one transition or one mistake, it didn’t happen for us tonight.

“Today, we can take one point, it’s not what we wanted but we’ll take it.”

Riveiro’s side currently lies eight in the DStv Premiership table.
