Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has heaped special praise on the quality within his side following a vital 2-0 win over TS Galaxy at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.
The Spanish tactician reserved the plaudits for attacking trio Deon Hotto, Bandile Shandu and Zakhele Lepasa with the Buccaneers second in the DStv Premiership standings.

"We played the way we wanted to play," Riveiro said post-match.
"From the start, we created chances and most of the time we played in the opposition's half.
"Shandu and Hotto did a fantastic job in order to provide us with the offensive depth that we lost in some periods in the last few games and I think that the first half was totally under control.
"on average, in the ninety minutes we were better than the opposition and our win was deserved," Riveiro said."
Lepasa proved the match-winner after scoring a brace to relieve some pressure on the attacking department.
"I think we have very good players in every department. Today I think it was his [Lepasa] time," Riveiro added.
"All the players upfront benefit from the structure they have around them. When everything is in position. Like I"ve said in the last month, sometimes it's just a question of luck and confidence."
