'If Nkosinathi Sibisi can allow Mbekezeli Mbokazi to lift the Carling Knockout! This is Orlando Pirates’ voodoo Cup, you even had to borrow a player from Chicago Fire FC to face Marumo Gallants, Kaizer Chiefs fans are praying for a Buccaneers disappointment' - Fans

The Soweto giants square off against Bahlabane ba Ntwa in the Carling Knockout final at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday, aiming to end the season on a high after also being guaranteed to end the year as Premier Soccer League leaders. Having already lifted the MTN8 in October, the Buccaneers are chasing a second major trophy this term as they seek to continue as domestic football's Cup Kings.

GOAL runs through what fans were saying in reaction to Orlando Pirates captain Nkosinathi Sibisi promising to deliver a "festive gift" to their fans by beating Marumo Gallants in the Carling Knockout final.

Gallants should just come for selfies with Mbokazi & Mbule
Last time Pirates played at Peter Mokaba in a Cup game, there was a reshuffle in one of the big teams. So Gallants should just honour the fixture, take pictures with the likes of Mbokazi before he leaves, with likes of Mbule before they go to AFCON, then return back with their silver medals 🥈 - Hendrick Maro

Good send-off for Mbokazi
Let Mbokazi lead the team and lift up the Cup as it's his last match in black and white. I think it will be a good send-off to him and also with mixed emotions - Molehe Motaung
