José Riveiro Proud of Orlando Pirates Fighting Spirit! The Buccaneers claimed a vital win over The Rockets this weekend.

Orlando Pirates defeated TS Galaxy 2-0 in the DSTV Premiership on Saturday evening. Head coach José Riveiro is proud of his team’s resolute spirit.

The Buccaneers came into this match on the back of a 1-0 loss away to Maritzburg United in their last league match.

Zakhele Lepasa scored a first half brace to score the only goals of the game. They have now consolidated their spot in 2^nd place, behind Mamelodi Sundowns.

“Well you can imagine coming after a bad day in Maritzburg one week ago, the reaction of the team one more time it was amazing,” Riveiro said SuperSport TV after the win.

“The way that we prepared the game, we spent not even one second looking for excuses about our last performance, working again and trying to find our best.

“I think today we went into the game very consistent and looking for the result, that’s the reason about the performance tonight.

“Of course, I have to repeat myself, it’s something that, ok we always have to talk about something, it’s true that we were struggling in front of goal,” he added.

“It’s true when I say we were not worried about it, we just have to continue creating chances, the touch will come and today it happened and that makes everything much more easy.”

The Buccaneers will now be preoccupied with continental football until they take on Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN 8, in October. José Riveiro Proud of Orlando Pirates Fighting Spirit!
