All roads will be leading to the Giyani Stadium tomorrow afternoon. That is where the much-awaited Nedbank Cup last-32 match between Bellevue Winners Park and Vasco da Gama will take place.

According to the coach of Winners Park, Mr Joel Mongalo, Vasco da Gama are in for a shock, should they take Winners for granted. Mr Mongalo indicated that they wanted to prove beyond any doubt that they did not reach the last-32 stage of the competition by default, by beating the team from the mother city. Winners Park are the amateur side representing Limpopo Province in the prestigious competition.

Asked about their secret weapons, Mr Mongalo revealed that the defenders of Vasco will meet their match tomorrow in Mpho Masenamela and Bonginkosi Hlophe. Masenamela is the team’s leading goal scorer after finding the net in almost every league game they had played so far.

It remains to be seen whether Vasco da Gama will be able to contain the Winners Park dribbling wizard, Velile “Mlungu” Mdaka, in the middle of the park. On the other hand, Winners Park must keep a watchful eye on the Vasco strikers, George Steyn and Lewis Swart, or else they will not know what had hit them when the referee blows the final whistle tomorrow.

The mood is good in the Vasco camp after beating Thanda Royal Zulu 3-0 at the Parow Park Stadium in Cape Town last Saturday. According to the day’s programme, a number of music artists will entertain the people before and after the game. The gates will open at 10:00. Tickets for the match are available at Computicket and will also be sold at the stadium at R40 for adults and R10 for children. The game is scheduled to kick off at 15:00.
