ORLANDO Pirates' coach Jose Riveiro says the team will fight tooth and nail to ensure that they take the Betway Premiership race to the wire.

Pirates have endured a rollercoaster run recently.

They lost in the CAF Champions League semi-final and to Sekhukhune United in the league.

Those defeats put a spanner in the works, as they all but lost out on a possible quadruple, now trailing log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns by 12 points.

Pirates' hopes of knocking the Bra-zilians off their perch do not appear to be dashed, though especially after beating Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on Saturday. The Bucs celebrated the bragging rights and three points highly at the Calabash, courtesy of goals from Evidence Makgopa and Relebohile Mofokeng.

Ahead of their league clash against Golden Arrows at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Tuesday night (7.30pm), Riveiro says they'll not leave any stone unturned.
