However, they are determined to change that narrative, as Sifiso Matse has pledged that this year will be different. “We have faced them in league matches over the past two weeks, where our objective was to either win or draw. This upcoming match is a different scenario—it’s a knockout! This time, we are going all out for a victory. It’s a significant game, and we are eager to win since we have never lifted this trophy before,” Matse stated. Meanwhile, influential Green Mamba midfielder Njabulo Tfwala emphasised that the match will not be easy, but being a derby means they require no additional motivation. “Facing Leopard is always intense, and we must fight until the final whistle. We will do everything possible to emerge victorious,” he asserted.
