Riveiro Hails Talented Bucs Attackers After Last-Gasp WIn

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro had some special praise for his attacking players after the come-from-behind win over Stellenbosch FC.

Second-half goals from Zakhele Lepasa and Deon Hotto saw the Buccaneers secure a 2-1 win over Stellies in the first leg of their MTN8 semi-final.

Steve Barker's charges were hard to break down even with ten men, but the Spanish coach was pleased with all his attackers for coming up with the goods.

"Look, we have a lot of talented players, our forward players they are all very well educated in football, technically, tactically, so they all managed to create a lot of situations, we finished the game with a hell of talent upfront," Riveiro told SuperSport after the game.

"So it's normal, they are comfortable on the ball, they like what we do and we just have to continue."

Riveiro wants to finish the job in the second leg in three weeks at Orlando Stadium.

"No, we have to win the game in Orlando, that's the task, that's a mission for us as team, to win the second one not thinking we're in advantage because if we do, you can find yourself in a difficult situation within the game and we don't want to be there," he went on.

"But still three weeks to go, we have to prepare other games before, so this is just the first-leg, we have to complete now in Orlando."
