Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro bemoans his side’s missed chances against Disciples in the first preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.

The Buccaneers were forced to settle for a goalless draw in the first leg played at the Côte d’Or National Sports Complex in Saint Pierre.

The Soweto giants will have it all to play for in the return leg when the two sides meet at the Orlando Stadium on Friday.

Riveiro has urged his side to be more ruthless as they prepare for the second leg on home soil, with kick off set for 7:30pm.

“I think the opposition today [Sunday] was excellent and every result would have been possible like winning,” Riveiro told the club media department after the game.

“I think both sides had very clear chances and, strangely, we finished the game goalless. We could not manage to capitalise ours to get a goal advantage at least to go into the second leg with an advantage.

“But we didn’t concede it is also important and in less than one week, we have to finalise this in Orlando and we know that it is not going to be easy like I said because they are a good team and we have to do everything to impose ourselves.”
