Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has given his verdict on showboating, which is known as Kasi Flava here in Mzansi, after his side's dominant CAF Champions League win.

The Soweto giants progressed to the second preliminary rounds of the CAF CL after defeating Comoros outfit Djabal 4-0 on aggregate.

When the Buccaneers were leading 3-0 in the second leg at the Orlando Stadium on Friday, Katlego Otladisa showcased some Kasi Flava skills that got the crowd off their feat.

Riveiro said he has no issue with the exhibition of skill, if it's used to gain metres. He also understands the cultural aspect behind Kasi Flava here in South Africa.

Here's how the readers reacted to the "'Technical tricks are beautiful to see but...' - Riveiro has his say on Kasi Flava" story:

"No place for that thing in our football. The kings of kasi flavour, where are they now? The likes of Qalinge and Rakhale to name a few," says Onside.

"I have seen it twice this season already. MaMkhize's player (Hopewell Cele) dancing on the ball, he lost it and other the team countered and almost scored. Again, a bench warmer from Chiefs danced all alone outside 18-yard area, instead of giving an assist or taking a shot to make a statement for the coach to consider him for next match...

"Mshishi eliminates players with his skill, and I have seen Maswanganyi do likewise and then lays it off for a goal," says Zam d king buccaneer.

"I agree with you Buccaneer. I saw Matlou with the meaningless dance. No purpose at all. Eliminate opponents with the skill and create goal scoring opportunities," replies Da Man.

"I saw a Sekhukhune player taking on a defender and turning him inside out, then deliver a cross from which a goal was scored. I applaud that," responds Zam d king buccaneer.

 

Read: Ngezana makes long-awaited debut for Romanian side

The long wait for ex-Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezana to make his debut in Romania for FSCB (Steaua Bucuresti) ended on Monday, after being snubbed for the first ten games of the season.

Ngezana was a substitute in the 77th minute for FSCB's 2-1 defeat away to UTA Arad, with his team finishing the game with just nine men left after two red cards.

The lanky ex-Glamour Boy has either been on the stands or the bench for the Romanian giants in their domestic league games and UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers so far this season.

Here's how the readers reacted to the "Ngezana makes long-awaited debut for Romanian side" story:

"Slowly but surely Ngezi..." says Mokaubere.

"Congrats and good luck Khosi, we wish you all the best," says Danito 4 Life.

"This one is a cow no matter how many wishes you send him. I bet he won't last there. You'll remember my words one day, this is another Ali Dia story," says His Majesty Yellow PSL Beast.

"How did a cow end up at a top team in the Romanian league? You are just jealous of Ngezana," claps back Mokaubere.

"Nope there are good Chiefs players that made it overseas like Radebe, Musona etc. But this one is a certified cow; I don't flinch in my statement!" replies His Majesty Yellow PSL Beast.
