Polokwane City lost four players in a car accident late last year, but they have defied all odds, both in the National First Division and in the Nedbank Cup, where they have reached the last 16 stage. On Saturday, they face another challenge when they meet Kaizer Chiefs at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Captain and veteran goalkeeper Makweni Mayala acknowledged Chiefs’ good form this season, but told Soccer-Laduma that his team is prepared to compete.

He said that with 22 players on the field, both playing good football, anyone can win the game.

“For now I can’t say who is going to win because the game is won on the day. Chiefs are a big team and they are expected to win this game so they will be under pressure to do so. For us our main focus is on the NFD and winning this game and doing so would just be a bonus for us. We would love to win as it is a good competition for the team but we are not under pressure to win compared to Chiefs,” the DRC born goalkeeper concluded.
