    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Third-tier outfit Free Agents will be away at the FNB Stadium playing Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup's Round of 32.

    It is a massive game for the minnows who come into the match as huge underdogs.

    However, the club's owner and coach Olaitan Oladeru is optimistic his team can cause a major upset on Sunday.

    “We set standards, we already a loser if we say we going there with nothing to lose, let’s just go play and leave the stadium,” he said in a pre-match interview.

    “We set a goal, we going out there to play all our minds and as you can see we are going to play with human, one heart, two lungs, blood running through veins all the things that need a sport-man is what they have, they have two lungs, we have two lungs the same way.

    “When I heard the advert of the tournament, they said David versus Goliath so you know anything can happen.

    “Message to Kaizer Chiefs, there’s no warning, we have to respect the brand as one of the biggest teams in the country, but they must prepare," Oladeru concluded.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The Nedbank Cup competition is the only realistic chance of the Glamour Boys ending their 10-year trophyless run.

    In the 2023-24 season, the Soweto giants fell to Milford FC in the initial stage.

    Having struggled in the Carling Knockout where they were eliminated by Mamelodi Sundowns in the quarter-final, Chiefs hope to make a statement in the Nedbank Cup.
