The last time they defeated the Buccaneers was back in the 2013/14 season, where Bongani Ndulula’s goal against his former side separated the two teams.

Pirates are in the quarter-finals after seeing off Crystal Lake and Hungry Lions and are heavy favorites to beat AmaZulu, but not if Martin has anything to say about it.

The Spaniard said in the Sowetan: “We need to change the run against Pirates because for a long time, AmaZulu have not beaten them and I cannot think of a better scenario than this time to change that.

“We are changing many things. The performance of the club is much better than the previous seasons in terms of results.

“In terms of playing style, I think we are creating something unique.”

Martin added: “I’m not going to say I’m happy because we are going to face one of the best teams in the country, so it is going to be tough. But I’m happy that we are playing at home.

“This is the kind of game we like to play as a professional football team and this is a match where we can make us write our own history.”
