Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro says he is lucky to have so many “quality players” within his squad after claiming a win over Cape Town City.

The Buccaneers secured their fourth straight victory in the DStv Premiership following their 2-0 win over the Citizens thanks to a brace from Tshegofatso Mabasa at the DHL Stadium on Wednesday.

The win sees Pirates remain in third place on the log with 46 points after 26 games, while City are placed seventh with 35 points after 26 matches.

Riveiro has since expressed his happiness with his team’s overall performances after continuing their current form in the league.

“I’m lucky coach, wherever I look I have a quality player, most of them they are ready to play, they are in a good shape, it’s difficult for me to choose the right ones each and every game,” Riveiro told SuperSport TV after the game.

“But right now we’re involved in a period of five games in a row in a space of less than two weeks, so it’s important that everybody is ready to contribute.

“Today is an example, six new players from the last game, people coming from the bench and helping, even if it’s only for five minutes, so that’s the way.”
