'Away goal is not an advantage for Bucs': Ahead of their MTN8 second leg semifinal encounter against Mamelodi Sundowns tomorrow at the Peter Mokaba Stadium (3.30pm), Orlando Pirates coach José Riveiro is paying no mind to the away goals rule.
Some of the top competitions in football are doing away with the away goal rule but it still applies in the top eight and it could work in favour of the Sea Robbers after they drew 0-0 in the first leg against Masandawana.
“It’ll be like any other game. The away goal can be an important factor at the end of the game, but we need to score the goal and we didn’t [in the first leg],” said Riveiro. When speaking to the media during an online presser, Riveiro was coy on the prospects of reaching the final and winning his first cup with Pirates. Instead, he praised Downs for their experience of playing high calibre matches.
