Sundowns

The Nedbank Cup culminates in an intriguing final this weekend as Mamelodi Sundowns take on Marumo Gallants on Saturday.

Mamelodi Sundowns are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend. Mamelodi Sundowns, on the other hand, have conquered the PSL yet again this season and are well-placed to add another feather to their cap.

The hardest thing, according to Manqoba Mngqithi is to keep his players motivated whenever they play against a small team, and the Mamelodi Sundowns coach ...

“These are some of the matches that I don’t like. “We have created a very good culture of trying to win every match that we play, we always go all out.” Matches where you are expected to win and everybody looks at you as the favourites to win the match are very difficult because you have a responsibility as a coach to intrinsically motivate the players so that they understand that the game is important as when we are playing against a big team,” said Mngqithi.

Mamelodi Sundowns will be chasing a domestic treble when they lock horns with Marumo Gallants in the Nedbank Cup final on Saturday evening.

Gallants will be looking to become only the second side to successfully defend the Nedbank Cup after SuperSport won it consecutively in 2016 and 2017. The Limpopo side have already qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup by virtue of reaching the final, as Sundowns will be playing in the CAF Champions League. The Brazilians, apart from chasing a domestic treble after winning the MTN8 and league titles, will be looking to become the most successful side in the Nedbank Cup under current sponsors, as they share the record of most titles won with SuperSport United (3). Sundowns will also be gunning for revenge after they were knocked out by Gallants (while they were known as Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila) in the semi-finals of this competition on penalties last season on their way to lifting the title. Bahlabane Ba Ntwa, on the other hand, made it to a second consecutive final after a narrow 1-0 win over neighbours Tshakhuma (who have inherited their previous name) in the semi-finals. Mamelodi Sundowns will be chasing a domestic treble when they lock horns with Marumo Gallants in the Nedbank Cup final on Saturday evening.

Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Themba Zwane is eager to focus on his club football and improving his numbers.

In my selection (process), there are not many players who play in European championships, but that is, for the moment, something that is not good for South African football. “Please do not misunderstand me. A player who was a good example to youngsters. I am very sorry, but I don’t see why I should select Jali or Zwane. “I want to be remembered as a player who was consistent, disciplined and worked hard for his team. This is a special moment for us as a team, as a family.

Two of them were for Sundowns and both were set pieces that Lyle Lakay blazed over the bar. Before Phillip Ndlondlo was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 110th-minute, the second half of extra time wasn't drama-filled. And a scrap it was for large parts of the second half as opportunities came, but went as power and glory were sacrificed for accuracy. It was a hard-fought win that in the end, Sundowns deserved, but had to fight hard for their success, but an unnecessary pitch invasion that showed up the inadequacy of the security soured the end event. Five minutes later, Sirino tried to double the lead, but his chance went narrowly wide of Arubi's net.
