“Not the first half we wanted to play even though we started quite okay the first 15 minutes,” Jose Riveiro told SuperSport TV as quoted by KickOff.
“After that Orlando Pirates didn’t manage to resolve the pressing that Sekhukhune proposed in the second half.
“My feeling in the beginning of the second half was that we are already dominating the game.
“The feeling that the goal will come but then Orlando Pirates had to play with one player less and even with one player less I think we had chances.
“Just before they scored the goal, our feeling was that we gonna make it because we gonna get the advantage even with one less player. But we concede one goal towards the end of the game.”
