Kaizer Chiefs striker Leonardo Castro has issued a warning to his side, ahead of their Nedbank Cup quarter-final clash against Baroka 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 focused 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 8:15pm.
