“I am so happy for the boys because this is a relief for them. I am not even thinking the next one, the Soweto derby against Kaizer Chiefs because we still have to celebrate tonight,” Riveiro told the“We needed this win, we really needed it. We need to celebrate the small victories as well, not only when we win trophies.
“The guys are working hard to get the results, so we need to understand how difficult it is to win games.”Pirates were also tipped to challenge log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns when looking at Masandawana’s dominance, but they are yet to show any signs of that.
