Cape Verde's surprise in the picture

The African champions are facing a race against time to have two of their most influential stars available for one of the biggest matches of the season. Head coach Miguel Cardoso has addressed the fitness concerns surrounding Ronwen Williams and Teboho Mokoena as the Tshwane giants prepare for their continental Super Cup showdown.

Mandla Ncikazi has finally addressed the intense speculation surrounding his departure from Orlando Pirates, choosing to maintain a dignified silence regarding his relationship with head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. The veteran tactician, who recently made a surprise return to Golden Arrows, insisted that internal club matters should remain behind closed doors.

The Brazilians head coach has lauded his side’s tactical discipline following their hard-fought victory over Golden Arrows in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals. The Portuguese tactician expressed his delight after the Brazilians secured a narrow 1-0 win to book their place in the final four of the competition.
