Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro was delighted to get maximum points despite admitting it was not the team's best performance.
The Buccaneers made it seven straight victories in a row as a brace from Tshegofatso Mabasa sealed a 2-0 win over Chippa United.
The Spanish tactician says getting the win was the highlight during this busy time of the season.

"The three points (was the highlight), we're going through a tight schedule, I think today it takes time to find rhythm in the first half, " Riveiro told SuperSport.
Usually in the last few games a little bit slow, in the end we find space in our right hand side, with many penetrations from Thabiso, the goal could have come early but in the end we managed to open the scoring, which is important not going to half-time 0-0.
"I think that was key in the game, otherwise if it takes a little bit long maybe you don't know but not our best performance but good enough to collect the three points to make sure that we continue with possibilities to achieve the objective that we're looking for right now. So happy with the boys, excellent numbers and results for us, so we move."
"It's good that we also responded well in our right hand side, we didn't really use Rele (Mofokeng) more in the first half, more in the second one.
"Anyway, the team was balanced, under control, we didn't suffer transitions which is important, we did a fantastic job in set-pieces, especially in defence against a team in long throw ins, inn corner kicks, overall a professional performance. I think three points we go to the next."
