MWOS FC Shift Focus to Chibuku Super Cup Semi-Final Test
Following the disappointment of last weekend’s league result, MWOS FC immediately turn their attention to a crucial cup fixture as they welcome Triangle United to MWOS Ngoni Stadium this Saturday for the Chibuku Super Cup semi-final.
The Punters secured their place in the final four with an impressive 3-1 victory away to Bikita Minerals at Gibbo Stadium, placing them in a strong position to challenge for domestic silverware. This cup run represents a tangible opportunity to salvage the season with a trophy, providing a clear and immediate objective for Lloyd Mutasa’s side.
The upcoming tie promises to be a stern challenge, with Triangle United arriving as formidable opponents. The last encounter between the two sides ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw in league competition, suggesting another tightly contested match is in store. With a place in the final at stake, both teams will be fully committed to securing a positive result.
Addressing the media in his pre-match press conference, Head Coach Lloyd Mutasa emphasised the importance of mental resilience following the setback against Scotland. “We are trying not to let past results get into our heads,” Mutasa stated. “The loss to Scotland was bitter, but we need to move on from it and focus on the games that are left to play. We still have a chance to lift some silverware this season, and we need to focus on that.”
Mutasa confirmed that the squad has responded well in training and remains fully concentrated on the task at hand. “The players are unfazed, and they know that losses happen in football; all we need to do is move on from it quickly,” he added, praising the group’s professional character.
Furthermore, the gaffer issued a rallying cry to the club’s supporters, whose influence could be pivotal. “The fans have been amazing, and we are appealing to them not to tire in supporting us. We are home, and we hope to win the game,” Mutasa said, underlining the value of a strong home advantage at a packed MWOS Ngoni Stadium.
Kick-off for this highly anticipated semi-final clash is set for Saturday, October 25th.
