Riveiro: We suffered a lot in the hands of Sundowns, in the first and second half we played nothing

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has reacted to his side’s 4-1 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Saturday.

“We’re disappointed with the result obviously,” he told SuperSport TV .

“It was difficult to find ourselves today in this environment. In both phases in attacking and defending we were not comfortable at all in the first half.

“Two accidents put the game in a difficult place for us with 2-0, we tried in the second half to get close, I think we managed to be better than Sundowns in the second period.

“After the 2-1 I think the game was more close to us than to them but they managed to find the net in the first occasion. From that moment the game was far from us.”

🚨BREAKING! Full Enzo Maresca's statements after a defeat against Brighton in Fa Cup: ⤵️

on James absence:
"It was planned. He is okay, he is training but it was to protect him."

on Joao Felix:
"I don't think we miss Joao. Joao is happy there, and we are happy Joao is happy there."

on Nicolas Jackson:
"Sometimes I think you need to play some games without players to realise how important they are. Off the ball, his pressing is always very good and on the ball he is always a threat."

On VAR:
"I think the handball [before Brighton's second goal] is quite clear. In the last two or three days there were many different moments in different games. Without VAR it's complicated."

Not holding into leads:
"For me, for sure, we need to learn how to win games 1-0. No doubt. The same way, the last game against West Ham, we were losing 1-0 and then we won 2-1. In terms of the team, we need to learn how to win 1-0. Big clubs do that."

FA Cup exit:
"It is for sure a shame. No doubt. It is a difficult competition. For sure, it is a big shame for us but if there is something positive, we can be focused on the Premier League and the Conference League. Hopefully we can continue our journey there."

Disappointed in reaction to going behind tonight?:
"I don't think so. After we concede the second goal, we had three or four chances to score so the reaction was there. Every game is different. In terms of reaction, after the second goal we concede, the reaction was there." 🥹🥹

This is not my real Chelsea,I am dreaming🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️😭
