Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has explained why he's a lucky coach after the side's victory over Cape Town City.
A brace from Tshegofatso Mabasa guided the Buccaneers to a 2-0 victory over the Citizens at DHL Stadium.
The Soweto giants have played a number of games in the past couple weeks, but the Spaniard says he is lucky with the talent he has at his disposal.

"I'm lucky coach, wherever I look I have a quality player, most of them they are ready to play, they are in a good shape, it's difficult for me to choose the right ones each and every game," Riveiro told SuperSport after the game.
"But right now we're involved in a period of five games in a row in a space of less than two weeks, so it's important that everybody is ready to contribute.
"Today is an example, six new players from the last game, people coming from the bench and helping, even if it's only for five minutes, so that's the way."
Riveiro added that they owe it to their supporters to secure CAF Champions League football next season.
"We're doing our best, it's the maximum that we can get this season, it's our obligation to give our all. The fans are supporting us wherever we go, they are really excited with the team right now. I think we're playing decent football, scoring goals, that's the most important in the end," he continued.
"So we have to behave like them with passion, motivation and give our all, fight and let's see at the end of the season we're in what position."
