Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro hailed his side's "complete performance" against Richards Bay despite only scoring one goal on Tuesday night.

The Buccaneers registered a seventh successive win in the Betway Premiership as Evidence Makgopa's first-half strike was enough to down the Natal Rich Boyz.

With the Soweto giants now cementing top spot, the Spanish tactician felt the scoreline was not a true reflection of their dominance.

"I think it was a very complete performance tonight, 1-0 is a very short result in my opinion, we managed to create good and clear chances to go to the next stages of the game with a little bit more, not relaxed but you know what I mean," Riveiro told SuperSport TV.

"But anyway I think the game was totally under control from our side, from the beginning. It took time in the first 15, to 20 minutes as usual to find spaces against the back five and a low block. But due to the patience and the quality of the boys we managed to do it well.

"The last 25, 26 games now we managed to keep a clean-sheet here at Orlando.

"It is not by chance, it's due to good organization, the courage of the players. Today, you the saw the goal, it was a rebound, lucky enough we managed to collect the three points."
