Kaizer Chiefs striker Leonardo Castro has warned his side not to underestimate Baroka ahead of their Nedbank Cup quarter-final clash on Saturday.

The Glamour Boys will be hoping to book their place in the semi-final of the competition as they prepare to welcome Baroka to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Castro says he is looking forward to a fight from start to finish against a determined Bakgaga side, who he says cannot be underestimated.

‘We need to fight if we want to reach the semi-final,’ Castro told his club’s official website. We need to be ready from the moment that the referee blows the whistle to kick-off the game.

‘We want to score early. Baroka always approach their games with a ‘do-or-die’ attitude, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

‘They can’t be underestimated. This means that we must be focussed from the start and take care of business with a sound game plan and a determination to win.

‘We need to look forward as well. The Nedbank Cup is an opportunity to win a trophy this season.’

Kaizer Chiefs against Baroka kicks off at 20:15.
