POSSIBILITY OF THIRD SOWETO DERBY

There is even the possibility of THREE Soweto derbies during this time…

If Pirates manage to overcome MTN8 champions Mamelodi Sundowns and Amakhosi beat AmaZulu in their respective semi-finals. Imagine the possibility of a league clash, a dream MTN8 final and a Carling Cup semi-final between these sides in quick succession.

BREAKING: KAIZER CHIEFS TOP FORWARD RULED OUT OF MTN8 SEMI!

Arthur Zwane and Jose Riveiro will do everything in their power to make this possible as their attention turns to the MTN8. The PSL is on pause due to the current FIFA international break. Therefore, the Soweto giants will turn their attention to the MTN8 which sees two tantalizing semi-finals over two legs.

A chance for Zwane and Riveiro to get into the final and earn their first piece of major silverware. This is Something both Bucs and Amakhosi supporters are desperate for. This will also do wonders for their confidence as they aim to compete in the DStv Premiership or to qualify for CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup football.
