Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro took the positives from the side's goalless draw against Pyramids FC in the first leg of their CAF Champions League semi-final.
The two sides could not be separated after playing to a stalemate, while the Egyptian outfit had two goals ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

The Spaniard was pleased with his side after the encounter and knows scoring in the away leg is going to be vital.
“I don’t know, the game just finished 30 seconds ago, a lot of emotions, a tough game, control for us, opportunities for them. Not a bad result considering that the goals away from home can be double,” Riveiro told SABC Sport.
“We have a very good game in Egypt if we want to go through. But I’m really proud of the boys, yeah still open."
The Buccaneers were unable to take full advantage of playing at home, but Riveiro has remained optimistic ahead of the second leg.
“Yeah, but that’s football, opportunities none of us managed to score a goal. So, everything is open for the second-leg 0-0, not a bad game.
"I think it was not a 0-0 game, probably both teams created enough to score one goal. But one week."
