Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro lamented his side’s luck after they drew 0-0 at Richards Bay on Saturday afternoon.
The Buccaneers failed to win their seventh league game this season after being held be a resilient Natal Richboyz in Durban.
It was already the eighth time this season that Pirates failed to find the back of the net, with Riveiro saying luck does play a role in games like this after Pirates hit the woodwork late in the match.
“Well, 0-0 again. Not the result that we were expecting to collect here tonight,” he told reporters.
“Not a good beginning of the game, they started the game much better than us, much more connected. We were not playing the way we wanted.
“We started to control the game better in the latter stages of the first half. In the second half we fully dominated the game, we came close to scoring in several chances.
“We’re not really the luckiest team in the world. But it’s that time of game that sometimes we even lose in one transition or one mistake, it didn’t happen for us tonight.
“Today, we can take one point, it’s not what we wanted but we’ll take it.”
Pirates moved to 16 points on the log from 11 games, but are eight points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have three games in hand and a 100% record so far.
