NEWS: ‘We are going to win it’ – Neo Maema reveals Mamelodi Sundowns targeting Nedbank Cup triumph over rivals Orlando Pirates

The Brazilians will renew their rivalry with Pirates who will be aiming to defend their title in Saturday’s Nedbank Cup final after the Sea Robbers were also victorious in the MTN8 final earlier this season at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

However, Masandawana has already won two trophies this term in the African Football League and the DStv Premiership title.

Speaking at Tuesday’s Nedbank Cup press conference, attacker Neo Maema revealed the club’s desire to win a treble.

“The treble is still there to play for and definitely we want it,” Maema said.

“It has been a very successful season, last season we did very well but we only won the league.

“This season we won the AFL, so in our eyes, it’s a very successful season and also we can put the cherry on top with the Nedbank Cup and we are definitely going to win it.

“Disappointment is there because we haven’t reached the goal of invincibility this season.

“It strikes us that in 29 games we’ve fought so hard but not made it to the final game (defeat to Cape Town City).

“But we have a game on Saturday we have to win, sooner or later we will get over it.”

The last time Bafana ba Style won the treble was during the 2015/16 season under coach Pitso Mosimane as they won the CAF Champions League, DStv Premiership, and the Telkom Knockout now known as the Carling Knockout.
