Aces have a bone to pick with Chiefs
It's all systems go for the first game of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) between the home team, Mpumalanga Black Aces and Kaizer Chiefs.
The game takes place at Mbombela Stadium tomorrow at 18:30.
According to the stadium’s spokesman, Mthuthuzeli Qamba, conditions for playing is perfect and the grass is beautiful.
“We have consistently hosted big games here and there is absolutely no doubt that we are ready for this one.
“As always, the park-and-ride system will be operational and we expect soccer supporters to make full use of this facility.
“Tickets are already available and we were told that they are going fast,” said Qamba.
Aces, who got off to a good start in their PSL campaign on Sunday when they played to a one-all draw against Bloemfontein Celtics, will aim to avenge their 3-0 drubbing by the Chiefs during the MTN 8 Cup two weeks ago.
“We have no excuses for the loss we suffered against the Chiefs in the MTN 8, but remember we were without some of our best players.
“I can assure you that tomorrow Chiefs will not come out of the Mbombela Stadium alive.
“We have a surprise for them,” said Aces spokesman, Gordon Masondo.
He said Aces’ display this past Sunday against Celtics was proof enough of what the team intended to achieve this season.
“We want to win all our home games and at least settle for a draw when playing away. With the kind of players we have in the team, I don’t see why we can’t challenge for honours.
“This year, Aces are going to make a huge mark. We are not here just to add numbers but to compete for top honours, and tomorrow, we are going to show Chiefs that we mean business,” went on Masondo.
Soccer supporters can expect to see the likes of Aces’ new signings such as Collins Mbesuma, Mzivukile Tom, Tinashe Nengomashe and Roger Da Costa, in action against Chiefs tomorrow.
