Orando Pirates coac Jose Riveiro will, in all probabilty, miss there next match due to a touchline suspenstion. Orlando Pirates coach José Riveiro picked up a one-match suspension after referee Luxolo Badi yellow-carded him towards the end of Saturday's match against Cape Town City at Orlando Stadium .
He will be in the stands on Saturday when Pirates play their Betway Premiership match against Marumo Gallants at Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein. This will be the second time Riveiro has been suspended. In February 2023, he was red-carded during a Nedbank Cup match against All Stars and was handed a two-match suspension.
Riveiro would have served the suspension on Tuesday evening when Pirates were scheduled to play Royal AM, but the match has been postponed. Fans greeted the change with boos that rang out around the stadium. However, the substitution proved to be an inspired decision, as Mosele scored the winning goal three minutes before the final whistle."We needed a different type of midfielder at that moment in the game," said Riveiro."There was a situation where we tried to gain an advantage with our midfielders because of the way they were defending on one of the sides.
