Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro says the support his team received in KwaZulu-Natal shows how amazing the Buccaneers fans are


The support the Orlando Pirates got in KwaZulu-Natal demonstrated how incredible Buccaneers supporters are, according to Buccaneers coach Jose Riveiro.

The Soweto giants got raucous backing from their supporters at Chatsworth Stadium on Saturday, a week after The Ghost drew a massive crowd to Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Orlando Pirates dominated on both occasions, defeating Royal AM 1-0 in the league and 2-1 in the MTN8 quarterfinals against the same opponent on Saturday.

On Saturday, Riveiro described the atmosphere in Chatsworth, south of Durban, as “unbelievable.”

“We’re playing away and the last time we had 30,000 spectators at Moses Mabhida and tonight I don’t know how many people were here cheering us and supporting us.

“I will repeat myself, but it’s true that this is a special club and one of the main reasons is because of the fans. It’s amazing.”

He added: “I enjoy playing in Orlando Stadium with the fans coming to watch the game because they’re helping us a lot, and everyone who’s coming to our games, that’s the reason for us doing our best to fight until the end and we appreciate their support a lot.”

Six matches into the DStv Premiership season, Orlando Pirates are atop the rankings following a promising start to life under Jose Riveiro.

They have also advanced to the semifinals of the MTN8, where they will face the reigning champions, Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sunday, September 4, at 17:30, Orlando Pirates will play Maritzburg United.

  8. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope.
