With the re-appearance of Collins Mbesuma at the Chiefs Village, they should feel much relief. After a disappointing 2-2 draw with Bush Bucks at Soccer City on Saturday Chiefs will be looking to resurrect their campaign.

What better way then by staking their claim in one of the last eight positions in the Coca-Cola Cup 2004. Chiefs will also be boosted by the news that midfield maestro Emmanuel Ngobese is back in action after recovering from a muscle strain.

These two players were both sorely missed in their important clash with Bush Bucks. Chiefs will be looking to retain the Coca-Cola Cup trophy and Chiefs PRO, Putco Mafani states: “Chiefs will hold onto the trophy we are sick of being referred to as runners up we have been there done that”. “The trophy is ours now and there is no way we will let it go.”

Arrows will be looking to knock Chiefs out early and progress to the later stages of the tournament.

Key Players:

Golden Arrows: Papi Zothwane - Papi Zothwane is an outstanding midfielder, he has helped Golden Arrows enormously and is one of those players that can turn a game on its head with one touch of the ball. Chiefs will have to mark him tightly.

Kaizer Chiefs: John ‘Shoes’ Moshoeu - Shoes has been on superlative form and will want to carry his goal-scoring ability into the Coke Cup. It remains to be seen whether Chiefs can whether the storm that Arrows have in store for them. Shoes will need to give his utmost if Chiefs are to progress to the quarterfinals.

Coaches:


Golden Arrows: Simon Ngomane


Kaizer Chiefs: Ted Dumitru
