Mamelodi Sundowns defender Aubrey Modiba has vowed to take the MTN8 title from Orlando Pirates, following the Buccaneers’ recent Betway Premiership victory that ended Sundowns’ eight-year league dominance. Modiba emphasized that the team’s mission is to snatch the title back, as the rivalry intensifies ahead of the tournament. This comes as Pirates aim to defend their MTN8 Wafa Wafa crown for the fifth consecutive time, prompting a fierce battle between the two South African giants.
Sundowns, however, faced challenges in their MTN8 campaign, as coach Miguel Cardoso criticized the team’s set-piece management after a hard-fought 3-2 extra-time win over Polokwane City. Despite the victory, the coach acknowledged areas for improvement, highlighting the need for better execution in crucial moments. The team’s ability to overcome such hurdles will be key in their quest to reclaim the title.
Meanwhile, former Sundowns striker has expressed support for Kaizer Chiefs, hoping they will perform well in the tournament. This endorsement adds to the competitive atmosphere, with multiple teams vying for glory in the MTN8. As the competition heats up, the focus remains on Sundowns’ determination to prove themselves against their rivals.
