SuperSport beat Bucs to Mopani Cup

Posted: 2010-09-05 19:50

SuperSport United will go into Wednesday’s Absa Premiership match against Mpumalanga Black Aces in high spirits after beating Orlando Pirates 2-0 in the Mopani Mayor's Charity Cup on Sunday.

It is the fourth successive victory for Matsatsantsa in this tournament, and it came by way of a brace from Thulani Ngcepe.

After a lacklustre first half under scorching conditions, the game livened up after the break following the introduction of Ngcepe and the young Daniel Mitchel, who was a thorn in Bucs side and created both the goals in the 80th and 90th minutes respectively.

Robyn Johannes appeared in Pirates colours for the first time since leaving Mamelodi Sundowns a few hours before the transfer window deadline last Tuesday, whilst Joseph Makhanya got a thunderous reception when he came on.

He he he pirates yeah,we are tired of charity cups we want real thing this szn,but he he he welcome back duku duku.

Tolly-ba-Thathe : 2010-09-05 20:21

Ooh, i was one of the most overwhelmed to see Duku Duku not only back but back with such scentilating touches of his.

As for results, as much as pride was at stake but i don't think we need to read much from this game. Coaches try combinations and to be frank, i never was concerned with the outcome but how my boys combine and make things happen was my biggest priority. I don't care about people who are making noise about us failing to clinch this Mopani trophy...anyway, to them it's a huge achievement hence they always take it serious, if you are wondering who am i refering to, i am talking Fans of the only and only club that has won most trophies illegally.

I was impressed with the introduction of few young developments lads and it augurs well not only for OPFC but the country. Manyisa is another improved player.

Mmusi: 2010-09-05 20:51

Ernest please my brother, a o bathong! How many players will Hunt field on Wednesday from today's game. I fail to see how the reserves would lift the first team' spirit for Aces game.

Some if not over 80% of the players fielded by both sides will never kick the ball in anger this season. It was nice seeing prospects like left-back Siyabonga Zulu for Bucs. I mean even Krol was chilled at the stands and Hunt was facing downwards for the majority of the game!

Can Orlando Pirated fans please tell us whats wrong with their team...???...I swear, they would have beaten SSU had that game not been a Cup one, whats wrong with Pirated, once the cup name pops up, there is always a problem and I know deep down they also know it but they will deny it...look at them now...''we dont care about Charity cups, we want real cups''...hehehehe, since when is Orlando Pirated capable of winning cups...???...they fail to win Mopani cups but they are busy dreaming about your MTN8s...hehehe, ngumhlola...!!!

nkosia : 2010-09-06 05:57

I thought that with the quality at their disposal,they can easily dispose off any team they come against,whether friendly,mopani,charity etc but lo n behold,I was dreaming.Its only quantity disguised as quality.

Whats wrong with the Kaizer Chimps, they were saying we are going to win the Telkom Charity cup and the Kaizer Chimps won it and they said we are going to win the charity cup in Mbombela and Aces won it and they said we are going to Win Mopane charity cup and Supersport won in. And they are saying Kaizer Cheats are going to win MTN8 and Orlando Pirates will win it.

Mesh - K 4 L: 2010-09-06 08:50

LTKZ #22: 2010-09-06 09:14

Why is it that when Pirates win such Trophies they get nailed(is a plastic trophy,thats the only one they can win, there was no competition) and the lose in such games they still get Nailed?

What has Pirates done to you guys?

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-09-06 09:27

@KING,

They Kaizer S.h.i.t supporters desparatley wanted us to win Mopani Cup so that they will post thier stupid gabbage that we win useless cup. Since we did not win their Charity cup it has become an important cup. They are one Trophy team per season and thats all they will get this season, the Charity cup while we are going to win the Major one the League.

thivhu....: 2010-09-06 09:36

It was very hot.....(we use black kit)
it was a charity cup....(Mopani Worms)
We were trying new combination....(Patrick Malokase and Ezenwa Otorogu)
We give chance the devolopment players.....(Zulu Siyabonga)

@thivhu,

It means nothing to us whether we win or lose a charity cup. Why are Kaizer Cheats so angry that their team was not invited. Were you desparate to play and win this cup since these days you are charity specialists.

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-09-06 11:12

Soccer Critic ( Tivani): 2010-09-06 11:48

After reading some of the comments on this story I can CONFIRM that Orlando Pirates fans are slow thinkers or they can't think at all. They always critisize other achievers, have excuses for OP failure and always expect OP to will the league forgeting that Soccer is business not entertainment only. It takes 30 games to win the league with price of R10 M while it takes 4 game to win MTN top 8 with price of R8 M and takes 8 game to win telkom knockout with price of R6M. Surely if you a smart business person you will know what matters the most there unless you just a fan that does not think or..........

Soccer Critic ( Tivani): 2010-09-06 11:48

Finally you say something I can agree with... I'm not an OP fan, not a hater either. I support KC and soccer in general and appreciate the competition other teams bring. I just find it a bit stupid to keep saying a lotta hypothetical stuff rather discussing what's the team doing right or wrong. It goes for any team, we supporters we tend to be too delusional. I think that's why sometimes our clubs kinda don't take us serious when we complain

Eish m new to this blog i hope my comments dont angry some people,cz i tlk facts...

pie-rats fans are busy talking to much.........nywe nywe,we where trying different combinations, it was "barks" under 13 side.....the question is was supersport not trying combinations?,did they not field some of their upcomming stars?....yes the Mopani cup is a small cup,but pie-rats should learn that you have to start small before you go big.

I guess you know now which team i support....Shapa Khosi Shapa!!!!!

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-09-06 12:45

FISTOS,

Which charity cups did supersport win to win the league? Stupid man. Supersport even failed to win knockout cups but won the major one, the league. Eiash maar Kaizer Chimps are foolish.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani): 2010-09-06 13:06

You know some people fools us and u only realise late that im being fooled here. They support you even if you do crazy things and tell u that "U THE MAN"
Without telling you the truth

That how youth starts drugs, Joins the gang and do all the funny things in the trains. Only when things turn agaist you that and you left alone then u realise these so called freonds or suppoters were actually fooling me. In life gents u need to pause sometime and do introspection. Thats the only way to see if you havee right people by yo side or not. From Today I will suport Pitso and bafana bafana even thou I dont like Pitso. I will support Pirates even thou they have problems in winning when matters the most. I will support Teko ven thou he's not Pienaar. Teko is the fotball Master

You concur with the Kaizer Thief who pretended to be Tivani and insulted us by saying Pirates fans are slow thinkers. You need introspection. You even deliberatly mispell my name in a way to poke me and claim that you dont insult. I am used to this cheap nonsence from Kaizer s.h.i.t supporters. If you dont like my post, dont read them, if you cant help but read then dont make it my problem.

Hey Tivani is that really u.

I knw ppl do change,bt r u sure?
Wel,if it's really u,you can even join de winning team,u've been crying for so long and i can imgine how it feels to lose every Cup.

Hence i've decided to extend our invitation to the winning team, on behalf of our supporters of cauz.
If you r wondering wen can u begin,wel u can start this saturday by wearing the black nd gold jersey.

Should you do that, you must knw that your days of crying are over.
Leave those slow thinkers as you have said lyk King,Shakirah nd others.

Yourself stop insulting other people who support teams you love to hate. I really don't mind anybody's any teams I don't support or hate but I just hate people like you who an extra of insulting other people and come up with cheap claims as you do. Just try to teach yourself to talk negative and also positive about other teams including yours...
