Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has been advised to remain focused in their chase of more points following the team's victory in the Soweto derby.

The Buccaneers defeated Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 in front of a packed FNB Stadium on Saturday to move up to seventh on the log as their season is improving.

It was the first time this season that Bucs have won back-to-back matches in the league after their 1-0 victory over Sekhukhune United on Tuesday.

Speaking exclusively to the Siya crew, former Pirates striker Andries Sebola said the Spanish mentor shouldn't 'get carried away' after the big win.

"It was a game of two halves, as the coaches would say. Chiefs dominated in the first half even though Pirates scored their goal in the first half. Pirates came back into the game in the second half, and they had a good game plan. You could see that they had planned to use the right side too much where Thabiso Monyane was operating but unfortunately, he got injured. But (Bandile) Shandu did well when he came on," said Sebola.

"The Pirates coach mustn't get carried away because of the result just because it was against Chiefs. There's still a long way to go. Chiefs did also play some good football in the second half but the unfortunate part about them is that they didn't create enough scoring chances," he said.
