Mamelodi Sundowns will face Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 Cup final at
Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, in what is a repeat of last season’s
semi-final. In the previous encounter, Pirates beat the Brazilians 3-0 in
the second leg, eventually going on to lift the trophy by beating AmaZulu
FC 1-0 in the final.
Sundowns defender Khuliso Mudau has refused to label this a ‘revenge’ game
when addressing the media about their approach. “No, it’s not about
revenge. We don’t think about that. Obviously we played against them in
the semi-finals last year and that’s in the past. We are focusing on the
game on Saturday,” said Mudau.
“We will go there with the aim of wanting to win. Obviously we know it
won’t be easy but the guys are prepared for this game and we are looking
forward to a good game.”
“We know it won’t be easy because we are playing against a good team but
we have been preparing very well for this finals and we want to lift the
trophy but obviously it’s not about revenge. It’s about us winning on the
day and lifting the trophy,” the former Black Leopards defender concluded.
