“They were supporting us all the time and cheering and not putting so much stress on the boys,' Riveiro siad after Pirates's win over Chiefs.
Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro has thanked the club supporters for coming in numbers after his side beat Kaizer Chiefs 3-2 on Saturday.
A brace from Monnapule Saleng and a long-range strike by Thabiso Lebitso inspired the Buccaneers to a Soweto Derby at the FNB Stadium.During the post-match interview, Riveiro gave credit to the supporters for inspiring his team to come from behind and win against Chiefs.“The energy at the stadium, I can tell you that it is very special. They made it possible today.
“I think the last derby was the opposite. There was the majority of the Chiefs fans but today the Pirates fans dominated the stands,” Riveiro added.“It’s probably one of the reasons we performed the way we did because today we didn’t feel there was no support when things were not going our way.“They were supporting us all the time and cheering and not putting so much stress on the boys. They did a fantastic job to help us to come back twice,” Riveiro said.
