Following his outstanding performance in the MTN8 final last week, Orlando Pirates defender Tapelo Xoki is eager to build on that when they face Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling Black Label Cup second semifinal at FNB Stadium tomorrow at 12pm.
Although he is not selected to play by the supporters, Xoki could start if captain Innocent Maela fails a fitness test before the game.
This will mean Xoki, who did not receive enough votes to be in Pirates' starting line-up, will be starting against Amakhosi to partner Ndah in the heart of the defence, with Mako and Monyane operating on the flanks. “It’s a huge game and we are looking forward to it and we will try to avenge the loss that we had two weeks ago,” Xoki told the media.
“It’s one of those matches where we will fix where we went wrong because we know where we didn’t do well, so we just have to correct that.”
