It’s WAFA-WAFA finals, who is going to ascend to the stage after 90min?

IT’S a clash of two big PSL sides, as defending champs of MTN8 Orlando Pirates face Stellenbosch side in the finals.

Both sides have been doing lately in the league, and this mouthwatering showpiece would add more spark to the sold-out Moses Mabhida Stadium, on Saturday evening October 5, 2024.

Kick off- 6pm.

Bucs will seek to claim a record third successive title, at the expense of no-nonsense Stellies.

It won’t be an easy task as coach Gavin Barker, is known for an attacking approach, with fierce running from his troops, that was evident when they outpaced league champs Mamelod Sundows, not once, but twice, in this years’ competition.

So, Bucs must fear the ‘Ides of March’.

But the on-form Tshegofatso Mabasa, Relebohile Mofokeng, Deon Hotto and Monnapule Saleng are going to prove too hot to handle, especially from the outside of the pitch.

The ever-dependable Nigerian centre-back Olisa, who scored his first goal against SuperSport, will he be on his super-form or Stellies excellent Fawaaz Basadie and Lehlohonolo Mojela, who has made a fast start to life at Stellenbosch after a move from TS Galaxy, and now has five goals in seven starts in all competitions this season, will be a danger for Bucs defence?

Bucs head-coach Rose Riveiro ( cup specialist) is aware the Stellensbosch side are no push-overs and will take the game to them, yet on the other hand Pirates, would not be intimidated as they seek to defend ‘what is theirs’ yet again, come Saturday evening.

Yes, its WAFA-WAFA, whoever wins, thousands of soccer fans will be happy with the outcome.
