Riveiro reacts to Pirates' win

In an interview with SuperSport after the game, as per iDiskiTimes, Riveiro admitted that his team struggled to get a win against the Natal Rich Boys.

The Spanish tactician was glad he secured all three points despite the game being a tough tie.

"Yeah, a complex game to resolve, but we did it," he said.

"That's the most important in the end. We got enough opportunities, even in the first half, to get the lead and have a different game ahead of us, but it was tough.

"We have to fight until the end, trying to find a hole to put the ball in the net. It's an excellent goal, but I'll take the players' attitude today; it was super from the first minute.

"It's not easy to play these types of games just before one final as you asked me before the match, and everybody showed today a high commitment to the game, with the result, with the three points. And it's a good news."
