'It was too much for us': Riveiro after Sundowns down Pirates in 'beer cup': Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro assured the club's faithful that their team is on the right track and will come back stronger at the end of the break for the 2022 Fifa World…
The MTN8 champions were beaten 4-0 by Downs at FNB Stadium on Saturday. Pirates beat Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs 6-5 on penalties in the earlier semifinal to meet Sundowns. Downs convincingly beat AmaZulu in the opening game of the gimmicky single-day friendly tournament where fans select the teams and also vote for the starting line-ups.
"I’m really sure we’re going to have a decent time now to rest and to do something else with our lives, to spend more time with families and get our energy back soon and use the time before we start competing again on December 21. “We’ll be working on whatever it means to play better. We need to be better in every department, better in every scenario.
Riveiro said it is difficult for him to anaylse Saturday’s competition because it is not every day that a professional team has to play two matches in one day.
