Chippa coach Kopo lambasted Pirates' Riveiro after the game on Saturday, even implying there was a racial element to his behaviour.

'The swearing came from every angle, not only from our bench,' the Pirates head coach told SABC Sport.

Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has refuted Chippa United head coach Kwanele Kopo’s claims that he used abusive language in the Buccaneers’ 3-1 Nedbank Cup semifinal win over the Chilli Boyz at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.‘My role is to protect and defend my players’ “There were moments of tension between the benches because I was not happy, or comfortable with the situation inside the field – with some behaviours and things happening during the game, that was not related with football at all.“My role is to try to protect and defend my players. I am a quiet, and extremely peaceful person, but there are moments where you have to stand up and pose some questions about what’s going on, that’s all.
