Record-breaking Orlando Pirates Aim To Keep On Winning, Says Proud Jose Riveiro

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro is basking in the glory of a remarkable start to the season, having led the team to unprecedented heights, including a record-breaking run.

The Buccaneers made it seven victories in as many matches by edging Richards Bay 1-0 at the Orlando Stadium on Tuesday night, a first in the clubs history, and extended their lead on top of the Premiership standings to six points.

The Sea Robbers are closely tracked by defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, who were set to play their game in hand against Polokwane City last night.

This early success marks a significant milestone for Riveiro, who took the reins at the iconic Soweto giants just over two years ago.

The Spanish-born mentor opened up to the media after an historic night in Orlando, where Evidence Makgopa grabbed the winning goal in the 26th minute, and expressed his pride in his team being able to achieve a record that had eluded many great Pirates teams.
