The Dutch coach says he was impressed with Pirates in their previous match against Baroka.
"I must say I was impressed by Pirates the last game they played. But they had almost the same problem we had against Sundowns. They were creating the chances. They have good players, we don't underestimate them, but we also don't underestimate ourselves. So, it's more about us believing in ourselves," said Riekerink, speaking to the media.
