Aces ready to turn the tide

The home team, Mpumalanga Black Aces, have a tricky date with Maritzburg United on Saturday at the latter’s home turf.

Aces, who have had a good away run, will certainly hope to continue where they had left off, when they collected all three points against Supersport United.

So far, Aces have collected four points on the road and this after they played to a draw against Bloemfontein Celtics and registered one victory over Supersport United.

“I just want to assure the team’s supporters and all soccer-loving people of the province that Aces are back to their winning ways. Remember, we have bought many new players and they are still trying to find their footing and I am sure that once they are comfortable, we will start winning again,” the team’s spokesman, Gordon Masondo said.

Tomorrow’s game against Maritzburg United is not going to be any easy ride, since they are playing against an unpredictable side mentored by a master tactician, Steve Khompela.

“It’s never easy playing away, more especially when the team you play against is unpredictable and is coached by Khompela, but we are not going there to add numbers.”
