Magesi FC eye historic triumph in All-Stars clash

The match has presented the Limpopo side with a golden opportunity to claim their second trophy in their debut season in the Betway Premiership.

The stakes are high for Magesi, with Larsen underscoring the historical significance of a potential win.

"Winning two trophies in our first season would be incredible. Many teams have been around for over a decade without a single trophy. This is our chance to become the most successful team in Limpopo," he declared.

Orlando Pirates' head coach, Jose Riveiro, has returned to lead the All-Stars team, with goalkeeper Sipho Chaine serving as captain.

Larsen acknowledged the challenge posed by the All-Stars' star-studded squad but expressed confidence in his team's ability to spring a surprise.

"It's a significant advantage for the All-Stars to draw players from the big three teams. It won't be an easy game, but we've shown we can cause upsets when we find the right approach on the day," he added.

Larsen emphasized that Magesi's strategy would differ from their league matches, focusing on disrupting the All-Stars' rhythm.

"This isn't a league game, so our approach will be unique. We know the quality in their squad, but we're ready to make things difficult for them," he explained.

Facing Riveiro adds another layer of excitement for Larsen, following their earlier meeting at the same venie which saw Dikwena Tsa Meetsi overcome the Buccaneers in the Carling Knockout round of 16.

"It's always a privilege to compete against the best coaches in the country. Coach Riveiro is among the elite, and he has proven his abilities. I'm looking forward to the challenge," he stated.
