“I am a super optimistic person. And I am also sure that the breakdown is coming very soon.” – Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro told Citizen.

“The moment we get the confidence and determination to start games like we did today, in a consistent way. Orlando Pirates are going to be at the top, if not close.

“Like I said, it’s a tough competition. You can see how difficult it is to win one game in the league or score one goal.
