Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro shed light on how he made certain tactical changes in the Soweto Derby to overcome Kaizer Chiefs in the Betway Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
The Buccaneers won the match 1-0 courtesy of a last minute penalty scored by Patrick Maswanganyi and in doing so lessened the gap between themselves and league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns to three points.
We got a lot of transitions and actions where we stole the ball in their own half and Tshego Mabasa was playing an important role in the pressing that we were doing, Riveiro told Backpage News.
He got tired and yellow carded in the end so we looked for freshness with Evidence Makgopa and in the end we tried to play the last 10-12 minutes with Shandu like a winger more than a full-back.
Even after 90 minutes we managed to get a couple of decent chances and due to that way to insist and try to fight until the last minute, we got that penalty as well, he added.
