They only managed to save some pride with Kabelo Dlamini and Evidence Makgopa scoring the goals for Pirates after the 85th minute.“We must accept it quickly because we are playing . SuperSport is coming , and we have to get those three points by any means necessary,” said Riveio.
Riveiro said while his side would have obviously preferred to advance in the cup competition, the league would still be the primary focus. “If we ranked the competitions, the league is the most important one. But then, when we go to these cups, we always go with the intention to offer good performances, but today was not that bad, but in four moments we were not at that level.
“The loss is obviously a difficult scenario for all of us – to go to break 3-0 down and understanding that you have to play another 45 minutes is a difficult situation,” he said. “We did it in a professional way . But obviously, the feeling of being eliminated here at home is not nice. That goes without saying.”
