‘We did not anticipate to make use of him (Mofokeng) once we weren’t main,’ Riveiro advised SuperSport TV after the match.
Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro revelled in Relebohile Mofokeng’s wonder-goal that handed the Buccaneers the Nedbank Cup on Saturday, with a 2-1 win over Mamelodi Sundowns at Mbombela Stadium.
The 19 year-old Mofokeng struck within the final minute of stoppage time, coming off the bench to supply the decisive second of magic.
He caught the ball via the legs of a bamboozled Bongani Zungu, earlier than curling a nice end previous Ronwen Williams, to offer the Buccaneers an MTN8 and Nedbank Cup double for the second season in a row.
“We didn’t expect to use him (Mofokeng) when we were not leading,” Riveiro advised SuperSport TV after the match.
‘Unfortunately we conceded’
“Unfortunately we conceded a purpose, but it surely was our intention to maintain the tempo up on a regular basis, with Deon Hotto, Monnapule Saleng and Rele (Mofokeng), to stretch them as a lot as doable.
“We had opportunities and didn’t capitalise, and what a goal!”
