Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro was pleased with the side's performance against Moroka Swallows, but was left disappointed by the result.

Pirates' Patrick Maswanganyi cancelled out Lindokuhle Mtshali's early strike as the two sides played to a 1-1 draw in the original Soweto Derby on Tuesday night.

The Spaniard claims the encounter was played at a fast pace and they were lacking the final pass in the second half.

"Difficult game to play, it was really fast. I think we played good football, our mistake punished us in the first-half, the only action where the opponent managed to shoot on target," Riveiro told SuperSport after the game.

"The game was all for us but we missed the last pass or the last touch in the box, I think we played a good game of football but not a good result.

"I think we started very fast, dominating, with all the control of the game, the opponent struggling to contain us in the central corridor, so it's easy to see that it was just a question of time that we were going to capitalise.

"But then we conceded one goal and after that we were a little bit in a hurry, trying to score the second before the first one and I think in the second-half we started well, we equalised."

The Buccaneers will be back in action on Saturday evening when they host Golden Arrows for more DStv Premiership action.
