Vaal super star set for double against Kaizer Chiefs
SEDIBENG.- Local superstar, Relebohile Mofokeng, is looking forward to a double against Kaizer Chiefs.
These two South African football giants, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, will lock horns in the much-anticipated Nedbank Cup final scheduled to take place at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, this Saturday, May 10.
Mofokeng was responsible for the Chiefs' defeat when he scored a winning goal for his team, Pirates, to beat the struggling 'Amakhosi' 2-1 in the Betway Premiership match at FNB Stadium on Saturday. Mofokeng sent Pirates supporters crazy on the stand when she scored a winning goal in the 62nd minute.
This was after the two Soweto giants went to the interval break with the scoreboard reading 1-1.
Much was said about Mofokeng before this encounter as one of the players to be watched on the day, and he did not disappoint as he came into Saturday's encounter carrying the hopes of Pirates supporters on his tiny shoulders and delivered like a seasoned campaigner. Sharpeville came to a standstill after the final whistle, with Pirates supporters taking to the main street to celebrate this victory.
As if this is not enough, Mofokeng is expected to repeat the same feat against the same Amakhosi when these two South African football giants meet on Saturday.
He has already made headlines ahead of this encounter after his stunning performance over the weekend. Speaking to journalists after a great performance against the Chiefs over the weekend, this Sharpeville-born sensation said he is looking forward to the cup final. He said that the win against Chiefs over the weekend was a morale booster ahead of this Nedbank Cup final on Saturday.
However, Mofokeng acknowledged the fact that it is not going to be easy playing the same team in a short space of time. In fact, two of Vaal Vaal-based players could play together in the final, with Boitumelo Radiopane also expected to make the final cut in the Pirates squad for this Nedbank Cup final. Radiopane was part of the Pirates team that beat the Chiefs over the weekend.
In this case, it is going to be a 'local affair' with the two youngsters playing together in the final.
