Riveiro credited his talented forwards for creating plenty of chances in the second half and praised them for being well educated footballers who are technically and tactically sound.

"Thank you, Coach JR, Dankie Mabhakaniya," says @ThizaK.
"Bucs have never lost a semi-final since the inception of MTN8," says morewasn.
"Thanks my coach, haters are no longer calling you a plumber. Up the Bucs," added morewasn.
"Strange enough that Stellenbosch is owned by a billionaire, yet they sell their best players in order to survive. The club also doesn't buy good players. Chiefs is also owned by a billionaire and their case is different. Club bosses and agents are ganging up to destroy Chiefs by pricing their players out of market value.
"I can write a book as big as the Bible in that regard. Stellenbosch are a good team, and the present players are frustrated as a result of what I mentioned above. That's why they are ill disciplined and commit unnecessary fouls," says Soccer Fanatic.
"This is nothing but a conspiracy theory. No facts here - only imaginations," replies maxncane.
"Our Spanish guitar. He is the best coach we ever have after coach Krol. Cool as a cucumber and very smart coach. Plumber of goals and Tiki Taka football," says raditselalouis.
"The best Pirates coach by far after Krol. It's a given coach; we are going to complete the game at Orlando Stadium. Stellies are in big trouble, and this is going to cause Chiefs supporters a lot of heartache, more than Stellies fans," added raditselalouis.
"Well done coach, thank you to you and your colleagues and most importantly the players," says Bra Zee.

Sticking with the Buccaneers, the club's staunch supporters were left unhappy with Sipho Chaine after he conceded to Ivorian defender Ismaël Toure in the 51st minute.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Late Winner Seals First-Leg Comeback Win For Pirates" story:
"Thank you, Bucs. Beautiful game as usual. That boy Mthethwa is good," says sphiwemsibitso.
"Best: Maswanganyi, Lepasa, Ndlondlo, Hotto, Mthethwa. Flops: Saleng, Erasmus, Moloisane and Chaine," says maxncane.
"Ofori needs to come back - otherwise, a good display of football by Pirates, we almost lost Xoki there, he needs get himself a helmet or something," says Snowman.
"This Chaine guy can't keep a clean sheet. His blunders are going to us some important games. You can't concede like that at this level, no ways. I was never his fan anyway," says user949915.
"We mean business, who are we meeting in the final?" says @ThizaK.
"I'm not a fan of Chaine, he needs to be sent on loan to gain experience. In Orlando, it will be a formality," says oupa.phiri27.
"True, we can't concede these types of goals in semi-finals," replies Terror Fanteni.
"Now they've a taste of playing against a 10 men Stellenbosch side... there was noise on Wednesday when Chiefs won against 10 men Stellies.
"The same people that were making noise on Wednesday are now saying 'we're Bhakhaniyaz', mxm," says ghettovillage411.
"The 10 men Stellies were making your team play half ground while Pirates was camped in Stellies' half...spot the difference," replies user750975
"I think it's time to drop Chaine because we concede in almost every game," says phala840616.
"If you drop Chaine, you can't play from the back, so don't even go there," says malandle35.
"I thought I was the only the one who saw that Chaine is preferred ahead of any goalkeeper because he can play from the back.
"Pirates and Sundowns play the same, they don't just kick the ball upfront. Williams is also preferred because he can play from the back. Ofori is a panic freak," says Jaysomethin.
"I understand your frustration Buccaneer but the game mole we play require a goal keeper who can pass the ball and with Ofori we have witnessed so many blunders in terms of playing form the back," replies lekhooapks.
"I agree but Chaine can't be trusted to make any saves and that is the first and real job of a keeper," replies msanisto.
