Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro was furious with his side’s showing against Cape Town Spurs, calling it “one of their worst games ever”.
The Buccaneers looked on track to move into second place on the log after Relebohile Mofokeng had given the Buccaneers an early lead.
However, as time went on Spurs got better into the game and found a deserved equaliser hrough Gadiel Kamagi in the 76th minute.
After the match, Riveiro expressed his frustration with his side’s display.
“A terrible one, one of our worst games ever,” he told SuperSport TV.
“Difficult to swallow, difficult to understand. Difficult in the beginning to manipulate the spaces but we managed to find two, three times the proper spaces to be in advantage.
“But then we just stop, we were not aggressive in the pressing, we just allow them to run comfortable in transition when they have the opportunity.
“We didn’t apply in the loss in their own half. In the second half, I don’t know we were just waiting for the goal to start to attack again.
“We were really passive, not taking any risk from the first line in the pressing as well, they found the spaces anytime they wanted.
“Difficult to explain, a really bad game from our side. It’s time to be critic and for sure do it better the next time.”
Pirates have another chance to move into second when they host Kaizer Chiefs in Saturday’s Soweto Derby.
