Kaizer
Chiefs will be looking to bounce back from the defeat on Saturday as they
welcome another Soweto rivals, Moroka Swallows, at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday,
27 August 2013.
The
Glamour Boys completed a double over Moroka Swallows during last season with
scintillating performances in two matches that produced a total of nine goals.
The
Glamour Boys, coming from the back of a defeat in the first leg of MTN8 against
Orlando Pirates, will want to redeem themselves against Moroka Swallows and
help keep their record in the league intact following a win against Black Aces
in the league opener.
Marketing
Director Jessica Motaung commented; “Moroka Swallows is coming to our turf at a
wrong time following the defeat against Orlando Pirates. We are looking to
bounce back immediately from the defeat. Once again the supporters have been
magnificent to the team by rallying behind the Team on Saturday. We always feel
stronger when we have the supporters on our side as has always been the case.
The
game also marks our first league game at home in 2013/2014 season and we
promise to give the supporters a memorable Amakhosi experience. We will have
activations by the Supporters Club and in partnership with our sponsors we will
give the supporters a memorable experience at all our home games,” added
Jessica.
Corporate
Communications Vina Maphosa revealed that the players and everyone in the team
is not fazed following the defeat on Saturday; “The players were understandably
disappointed after the game but now that is water under the bridge. It is
another Soweto derby and there is a lot at stake. This is a game that evokes a
lot of memories from both set of fans.
We
got the better of Moroka Swallows last season, both at home and away but we all
know that when it comes to Derbies the past results are thrown out of the
window. It will be a different ball game.
We
would like once more to invite Amakhosi faithful to join us at FNB Stadium on
Tuesday. The ticket sales have been going well and it has been encouraging to
see supporters buying tickets to come and rally behind the team,” added
Maphosa.
