"Still 90 minutes to go". Orlando Pirates' head coach comments on victory over MC Alger

Yesterday, Orlando Pirates defeated MC Alger away (1:0) in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. However, the team's head coach, Jose Riveiro, is not jumping to conclusions.

Details: According to Riveiro, there are still 90 minutes left in this confrontation, but he is pleased with the result.

Quote:

"The opponent managed to smother us in the first 45 minutes. It was difficult for us to get the ball on their half. But we defended very well once again.

In the first half, we limited them to a few options. We tried to be ourselves and find more possession on their half. We worked hard to gain the upper hand. The last fifteen minutes we played to consolidate the result. Overall, two different approaches. A good game from both teams.

We have a return match in Orlando. Anything is possible. It's a good way to start the quarter-final. In Orlando, we have 90 minutes to play, and football is unpredictable. Hopefully, we can surpass them again."

The return match in South Africa will take place on April 9.

Reminder: Earlier, head coach Magesi stated that Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng has the potential to play for top European clubs.
