Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro admits that their thorough homework on Kaizer Chiefs aided them to nullify their rivals, adding that it’s not easy for any team to play Bucs right now.

Khanye On Bucs Penalty

, ,

Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye believes the penalty Orlando Pirates got in the Soweto Derby is debatable, admitting he wouldn’t have given it. Patrick ‘Tito’ Maswanganyi slotted home an injury-time panenka to hand Pirates three points against their bitter rivals at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Riveiro On Maswanganyi’s Panenka Penalty

, ,

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has praised Patrick Maswanganyi’s personality after he slotted home a panenka penalty in the 94th minute against Kaizer Chiefs. Maswanganyi stepped up to decide the Soweto Derby when it looked like the game would end goalless after Njabulo Blom impeded Relebohile Mofokeng inside the box.

Look, not because I don’t trust the players but I don’t used to look to the penalty kick,” Riveiro said, when asked about the spot-kick.
