After their 2-1 Betway Premiership victory over Cape Town City on Saturday, Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro was most happy with his team’s consistency this season, even though it was a historic comeback.
At Orlando Stadium, Haashim Domingo gave the visitors the lead in the twenty-first minute, putting the Pirates down.
For nearly fifty minutes, the score stayed the same until Tshegofatso Mabasa’s equalizer. Before Goodman Mosele grabbed the game-winning goal in the 87th minute, it still appeared that the game would end in a draw.
Before Tshegofatso Mabasa scored the equalizer, the scoreline had not moved for nearly fifty minutes.
Even still, it appeared that the game would end in a draw until Goodman Mosele scored the game-winning goal in the 87th minute.
After the game, Riveiro stated, “I think it’s clearly the key, for us during the season, entire season, what we’re achieving in terms of results, performances, the quality of these players are not in question.”
“Everyone is aware that they are talented enough to compete for every title, play at this club, and perform at their current level. The important thing is to do it every day, even on your worst days. When I say this, it’s more about my English limitations.
Riveiro thought his troops were by no means second best, despite the fact that his team had been behind for the majority of the match.
“Today’s game wasn’t horrible from our perspective, but it was one of those ugly games when you can’t win by playing beautifully, but you still have to look for the outcome.
In order to keep Gordinho and Fasika busy in the final fifteen minutes, we were lucky to have a striker like Evidence on the bench as well. This allowed us more room in the box for other possibilities, and everyone was truly committed.
