THERE is just one more game to go for Herentals this season, the Chibuku Super Cup final against Bulawayo Chiefs at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.
For coach Kumbirai Mutiwekuziwa this is an opportunity for his players to shine.
This is Herentals’ first dance in the country’s biggest knockout competition. It is the same for their opponents Bulawayo Chiefs.
Both sides were promoted into the topflight league in 2018 and have both made history by making the final.
Bulawayo Chiefs and Herentals progressed in similar fashion. Amakhosi Amahle beat Black Rhinos 5-4 on penalties after the semifinal tie had ended goalless in regulation time. The Students beat FC Platinum 4-3 also on penalties after their match had finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.
“The mood and morale is good and encouraging. We have high hopes and expectations that we can win the cup. We are positive and have been doing well in this competition. We have to finish the job. We have not changed anything, the training methods and time still remain the same. We always insist on what made us reach the final,” said Mutiwekuziwa.
He says they have one injury concern.
“The squad’s only miss will be Clemence Gobvu who is injured. He has missed a couple of matches due to his groin injury but the rest of the squad is available,” said Mutiwekuziwa.
In a bid to lure spectators, who have somehow become uninterested when it comes to domestic football, especially when it comes to the smaller teams, the Premier Soccer League announced the price structure showing that fans will pay US$1 for the rest of the ground and US$2 to access the VIP stand.
The VVIP is strictly by invitation. — @innocentskizoe
