The Buccaneers secured their seventh consecutive victory in the Betway Premiership following their 1-0 win at Orlando Stadium.

Pirates have now extended their lead at the top of the league standings with 21 points from seven matches.

The Spanish tactician believes his side dominated the game and was happy to see the team keep a clean sheet.

“I think it was a very complete performance tonight, 1-0 is a very short result in my opinion, we managed to create good and clear chances to go to the next stages of the game with a little bit more, not relaxed but you know what I mean,” Riveiro told SuperSport TV after the game.

“But anyway I think the game was totally under control from our side, from the beginning. It took time in the first 15, to 20 minutes as usual to find spaces against the back five and a low block. But due to the patience and the quality of the boys we managed to do it well.

“The last 25, 26 games now we managed to keep a clean-sheet here at Orlando.
“It is not by chance, it’s due to good organization, the courage of the players. Today, you the saw the goal, it was a rebound, lucky enough we managed to collect the three points.”
