Orlando Pirates Are At The Level Of The Best Team In Africa Right Now, Says Coach Riveiro

Jose Riveiro was a proud coach deep in the bowels of FNB on Saturday night, declaring that Orlando Pirates are among the best teams in Africa right now.

Pirates held Pyramids to a stalemate in the CAF Champions League semi-final first leg at the Calabash.

A result which will force them to score or at least hold on for another goalless draw and win on penalties to reach the final in the second leg in Cairo on Friday.

And having travelled to north Africa three times this season, including Egypt, and came back with as many victories, theyll fancy their chances.

But nevertheless, should things not go away, Pirates should still be proud of their exploits on the continent, especially given the fact that they are yet to lose to date.
