The former Celta Vigo Youth coach was happy with the three midfielders' connection and how they linked up with the forwards in the match.
"I think Zwane, Kekana, Aubaas in the first half, the three of them, they gave us a distinct level of performance in the midfield; I think it was an area where the match was dictated," he said.
"They made the difference to eventually find these boys, Mofokeng and Ashley Du Preez, in the first half, in outstanding positions; also, in the second half, paired with Kekana, Zwane did a good job to give us more control of the second half, not making mistakes in possession."
Riveiro will go back to being Orlando Pirates coach once again as they continue their quest to win the Betway Premiership.
