Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has opened up on the team's elimination in the Carling Knockout at the hands of Richards Bay.
The Buccaneers bowed out of the competition after losing 5-4 on penalties to the Natal Rich Boyz at Moses Mabhida Stadium.

"Not easy to explain again, 120 minutes with the ball, trying but not scoring and going to the penalties today we were not the lucky ones," Riveiro told SuperSport after the game.
"Congratulations to Richards Bay and try to think about the next one as soon as possible."
The Spanish tactician also spoke about how difficult it was for the Buccaneers to break down the low-block approach from Richards Bay.
"Not many things that you can do better, it's about being a bit more confident maybe in the last minutes, it's an old story, I don't want to repeat myself.
"Like I said a few weeks ago, I think we're doing a lot of things very well but so far it's not enough to win the games.
"It's not easy to play against a low block for 120 minutes and I think we did a very good job but not putting the ball in the net, I think it's already said," he added.
The Buccaneers won't have much time to ponder on the loss as they host Sekhukhune United on Tuesday evening.
