The sides are set to meet again, this time in a league match, at the Cape Town Stadium this coming weekend and Barker is confident of causing an upset on the day.
“It’s going to be a massive occasion for the players taking on one of the glamour clubs of South African football in a big stadium no doubt set to be dominated by Pirates supporters who will be wanting a repeat result. I can tell you my boys are pumped up and ready to give a good account of themselves,” Barker told IOL.
“Put our loss to them in Soweto down to a learning excursion. We weren’t overawed by the occasion and held our own in thin air until late-on when they came at us hard and forced a goal out of us. We now revert to the league, our form over the last few games has been good, so the belief is there that we can overturn the result and bag all three points,” he added.
The game is set to start at 3.30pm.
