"His game today I think is second to none," Riveiro told SuperSport after the game.
"It's something else, he was pushing the team in the bad moments, he was helping a lot to collect those second balls, carried the ball forward.
"He's playing excellent football, hopefully he can continue like that for a long time."
The Buccaneers tactician also had his say on the the penalty call awarded to his team in second-half stoppage time.
"Not really (watched replays),"he said when asked if he saw the penalty.
"I watched now in the bench in the monitor, it's difficult to say, I'm not gonna say anything, if the referee says it's a penalty in extra-time, it must be very clear."
Pirates will be back in action on Wednesday evening against Sekhukhune United.
