Orlando Pirates coach José Riveiro has identified their ability to withstand dominance — especially when they were away in North Africa — as the main reason they're still alive in the CAF Champions League, suggesting beautiful football wasn't important in this competition.
Outgoing Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro puts a premium on receiving plaudits from fellow coaches after his Polokwane City counterpart Phuti Mohafe lauded him for his “massive contribution” in the PSL.
Orlando Pirates put on their best defensive work of the season after the final whistle had been blown at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday evening.
The leadership core at Orlando Pirates has been hailed by former club captain Lucky Lekgwathi for how they have led from the front this season, playing a critical role in the environment created by Jose Riveiro.
Orlando Pirates beat Polokwane City 1-0 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, to move within 12 points of Mamelodi Sundowns in the league.
