Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro says he was always confident that his team would beat Stellenbosch FC in the MTN8 final despite the fact that they had to chase the game.

This comes after the Buccaneers came back from a goal down to defeat Stellies 3-1 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium to win the final.

Lehlohonolo Mojela gave Stellies the lead with a magnificent acrobatic goal but Monnapule Saleng levelled matters for Pirates just before the half-time.

Then late goals by Tshegofatso Mabasa and Relebohile Mofokeng made sure that the Buccaneers successfully MTN8 title.
