Orlando Pirates Begin Nedbank Cup Defence Against Crystal Lake Fc

Defending champions Orlando Pirates kick off their Nedbank Cup campaign with an intriguing clash against Crystal Lake FC at the Mbombela Stadium. The Buccaneers, led by coach Jose Riveiro, are set to face the underdogs from Bushbuckridge in a Round of 32 showdown.

After securing the MTN8 title earlier this season, Orlando Pirates are looking to add another trophy to their collection, with the Nedbank Cup now in their sights following a slip in the league title race.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 at the Mbombela Stadium and will be broadcast live on both SuperSport PSL and SABC1 for fans to follow the action.

Crystal Lake FC’s lineup features players like Mkhonto, Ngobeni, and Khumalo, while Orlando Pirates will rely on the likes of Chaine, Xoki, and Maswanganyi in their starting XI.

Riveiro emphasized the importance of not underestimating their opponents in this knockout competition, highlighting the need for focus and determination to progress in the tournament.
