My Team Deserved The Three Points, Says Orlando Pirates Coach Jose Riveiro

Though they were only able to grab the winner with the last kick of the game, coach Jose Riveiro felt his Orlando Pirates charges more than merited the victory in their 1-0 Betway Premiership win over Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Pirates were awarded a controversial penalty deep in second half injury time, and Patrick Maswanganyi stepped up to cheekily chip the ball into the back of the net after Chiefs keeper Bryce Bvuma dived to his left.

It meant Pirates bagged a full haul of points in a tight derby clash which seemed destined to end goalless.

Riveiro heaped praise on his troops after the match.

I think its three points well deserved, said Riveiro.
