Stellenbosch FC will meet Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 final as the Winelands outfit registered a 1-0 win over Mamelodi Sundowns in the semifinal second-leg at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Sunday afternoon.
The winning mentality and ambition of the current Orlando Pirates squad are the driving forces behind the club's reaching five cup finals in the last three seasons.
Orlando Pirates have reached their third straight MTN8 Cup final, defeating Cape Town City FC 2-0 in the semi-final's second leg, securing a 3-1 aggregate win.
Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro says they will not rely on the crucial away goal when they host Cape Town City in the second leg of the MTN8 semifinal at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker is expecting Mamelodi Sundowns’ new Brazilian striker Arthur Sales to start upfront in Sunday’s MTN8 semi-final second leg.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego ‘Mahoota’ Mashego is of the opinion that midfielder Themba Zwane should start every game when fit.
