Pirates wary of tough Matsatsantsa outfit

The Buccaneers, who won the competition last season, began their title defence with a convincing 3-1 victory over Richards Bay in the round-of-32. They then dispatched Motsepe Foundation Championship side Baroka FC by the same scoreline in the round-of-16.

In SuperSport United, however, Pirates are facing arguably one of the toughest opponents in this competition and Bucs coach Jose Riveiro (below) has admitted that it’s not going to be easy to beat Matsatsantsa A Pitori especially in Polokwane.
