Rulani Mokwena Expects Mamelodi Sundowns Experience To Seal MTN 8 Trophy! The Brazilians will play the Cityzens on Saturday night.

Mamelodi Sundowns plays against Cape Town City in the MTN 8 final on Saturday. Co-coach Rulani Mokwena is counting on the experience of the coaching staff at the club.

The Brazilians possess the most successful side and individuals of modern day PSL football. As a result, they are practically expected to win the final this weekend.

Over the past ten years, the club has won every domestic and continental trophy available, except for the MTN 8. This is the only piece of silverware which has eluded the club.

The last time they won it, it was still under the SAA Super 8 moniker.

“I think I have to personalise the question about the lack of experience for cup finals, then the good thing is we have the experience that coach Manqoba Mngqithi has with cup finals,” Mokwena said to the media yesterday.

“Then Komphela, with the experience he has in cup finals, then the experience the players have in cup finals, I think we are blessed in that space to have players who have played cup finals.

“So we can’t come to the occasion, we have to be part of the occasion and when you are part of that, it is very different when you are at the occasion because it is easier to come with your backpack.

“But when you are part of the occasion, you perform and leave your backpack at home. Everything else, the previous performances, the surname of the individuals, they matter for nothing when it comes to the cup final.

“So we are fortunate that we got enough experience not just from a player personnel but from the technical staff, people that have done exceptionally well in cup finals.” He added.

Kick-off for the final on Saturday is 18h00. Rulani Mokwena Expects Mamelodi Sundowns Experience To Seal MTN 8 Trophy!
