NO COMPLACENCY

Mamelodi Sundowns are guarding against complacency ahead of the Carling Knockout final against Magesi FC at the Free State Stadium tomorrow. The experienced pair of Mosa Lebusa and Lebohang Maboe are not under-estimating their opponents.

The Brazilians are overwhelming favourites against Magesi, who are in their first season in top-flight football after securing promotion from the Motsepe Foundation Championship last season under Clinton Larsen.

The Betway Premiership newbies have punched above their weight class to reach their first cup final. Orlando Pirates, TS Galaxy and Richards Bay were all knocked out by the unfancied team.
