The battle is on at KaNyamazane Stadium

This battle for three points, which, the hosts, Aces wanted to take to the KaNyamazane Stadium, but ruled against by the PSL, will now be hosted at the trusted 2010 Soccer World Cup Stadium, Mbombela, this Saturday. Kick-off is at 15:30.
The two giants in their own right are coming to this battle looking to renew their
rivalry, having last met during the 2010/11 season with the home team, Aces
having the last laugh after trouncing Arrows 2-1, avenging their 3-1 first-round
defeat.
Both teams have so far been dishing out good and entertaining football and scoring goals, and, based on their recent performances, fans are in for a great treat of good football.
“We are declaring war against all the teams that are going to be coming here and we are going to start with Arrows on Saturday.
We are up in arms because we know we must start collecting points.
We have managed to ease the pressure and fix our mistakes and I can assure our
supporters that they will see a different team altogether. We are not going to
show mercy or give away points, because we are not a charity,” said Aces’
spokesman, Gordon Masondo.
Masondo then appealed for the team’s supporters and the people of the province in general to show patriotism by filling stadiums whenever the team is playing.
“It hurts to us as a team to receive calls asking us to postpone our fixture because Pirates and Chiefs are also playing on the same date. Aces may have arrived yesterday in the league, but this is a big team with a rich history and should also be treated with the same respect and support these two teams are enjoying.
“We would like to also urge our supporters and all soccer loving people in general, to stop asking us for free tickets and start buying, just like they do whenever Chiefs and Pirates are playing,” he said.
Masondo’s counterpart, the Golden Arrows’ spokesman, Vusumuzi Vilakazi, told Mpumalanga News they were expecting a tough battle but were determined to come out victorious.
“Aces are currently playing good football, but we are coming there to fight for the three points at stake.
The arrival of the new coach (Mark Harrison) has brought back that hunger from our players who now want to taste success,” he said.
The Mbombela Stadium manager, Roelf Kotze said they were ready to host this showdown and that the pitch would be in perfect playable condition.
He said tickets were already selling at all Computicket outlets and at the stadium.
