SSU welcome Al Hilal Benghazi of Libya in CAF Confed Cup second leg clashSuperSport United welcome Libyan side Al Hilal Benghazi in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup group stage this week. SuperSport United welcome Libyan side Al Hilal Benghazi in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup group stage this week. The match is scheduled for Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Wednesday night. Kickoff is at 9pm. Matsatsantsa’s performance has not been impressive as they found it hard to collect points in both the domestic league and the Confederation Cup recently. The Wednesday night match is a crucial one for the home side who lost 2-1 in the first leg on the road last week.
“The mood in the camp is good at the moment. It had been a while since we had got a win and the pressure was building, so you can tell that the guys feel like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Training has been fun and the spirits are high. After losing to this outfit in the reverse fixture, we know that it won’t be easy, but we are confident that with the home ground advantage, we will get all three points, ” said the United midfielder Jesse Donn. United are going into this match highly motivated after winning a domestic league match against Moroka Swallows last week with substitutes Tenda Matodzi and Etiosa Ighodaro on the scoresheet respectively. “It was great to see Tendamudzimu net his first goal in the win over Swallows, and it just showed the importance of staying ready. He has been working hard at training and when his chance came, he took it, and it benefited the entire team, ” said the Cape-Town-born midfielder.
Interestingly, the return of hard-working midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu is a big boost for coach Gavin Hunt’s charges. Ndlovu, who started against Moroka Swallows last week, rejoined his team following the injury he picked up at the beginning of the current season. “Unfortunately we still have some major injuries going into this encounter, but having the likes of Gatsheni (Siphesihle Ndlovu) back in the team brings some much needed experience and quality. We still believe in the players we have to get the job done, ” said Donn.
