Jose Rivero talks about their draw with Pyramids FC

Orlando Pirates and Pyramids in the first leg of this season's CAF Champions League semi-final ended in a goalless draw. Apparently, the Pirates' Spanish coach, Jose Rivero, was not satisfied with the draw and his team's performance, believing that the game should have ended with goals from both sides.

What Orlando Pirates did against Pyramids!

Jose Rivero's side are unbeaten in the CAF Champions League this season, and the Pirates' performance was made all the more controversial by the two goals disallowed by assistant referee Var for the visitors at the Buchanan Stadium, leaving the two teams to wait for the final decision in Egypt as Mamelodi Sundowns and Al-Ahly did.

What did jose Rivero said After the goalless deaw!

The Spanish coach emphasised that both teams played a good game despite the lack of goals. The veteran coach also emphasised that the game was played with two different approaches from two teams that play with different styles.

I think it was a really good game, well played from both sides, with two different approaches, But both of them we think were attractive for the spectators, again without pauses, without any team trying to play time or temporize or lose a good rhythm decent rhythm. I think more control for us in the beginning of both periods, less control in the end of both periods as well.

Jose Riveiro said.

Good opportunities for both teams and like I said maybe two times after the game in the interviews, not a 0-0 game. A game that should have finished with goals, So, it’s 0-0 and everything is open for the second leg, and anticipating, for sure, a really good game the next Friday.

Jose Riveiro added.
