Black Leopards captain Robert Ng'ambi warns Orlando Pirates not underestimate them when meet in the Nedbank Cup Final at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday. 

Leopards qualified for the Final after beating Baroka FC on penalties while Pirates beat Mpumalanga Black Aces 1-0.
 
Lidoda Duvha have qualified to play in a Cup Final for first time in their history and are now chasing a record of becoming a first lower division club to win a ticket to play in Africa next season.
 
Speaking to KickOff.com, Ng'ambi says going to Mbombela Stadium on Saturday as underdogs has given them a chance of staging one of the biggest upset in the history of the tournament.
 
"It is no secret that we are going to this game as underdogs, especially after Pirates just won the League. Our advantage in this game is that it is a Cup Final and in football anything is possible. It is not going to be easy but we are ready to put up a good fight.
 
"I know for sure that we cannot control the result, but we can control our performance and if we do perform well the chances are very high that we will win the game. 
 
"The spirit in the camp is high and everybody is ready to surprise Orlando Pirates," he adds.

Shame dude, the R6M has been transferred into OPFC account already and it's not reversable. Focus on playoffs and stop daydreaming.

It's human & natural to dream but your dreams are not sweetdreams but nightmares. Wake up & stop dreaming. True, this will be history but for Pirates and not Leoprads.
