It's sure to be a stellar Nedbank Cup final between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates on Saturday 10 May.
Moses Mabhida Stadium will come alive with a sold-out crowd.
“It’s a Soweto Derby, two big clubs in a cup final. It’s one of a kind and we hardly get this type of special in our football… a lot is riding on this fixture.”
– Siyasanga Monoalibe, Sports Journalist – Sunday World
Pirates will be looking to defend their title, as outgoing coach Jose Riveiro will hope to end his term on a high note.
Chiefs, on the other hand, have a lot to prove as they hope to end their decade-long drought.
“It could be six final wins in six finals for him [Riveiro]… it’ll be very important to continue that winning culture for Orlando Pirates… but Chiefs could also pitch up on the day, have nothing to lose and throw everything at it.”
– Lorenz Kohler, Sports Journalist – iDiski Times
