It was a humiliation that any coach would love to forget in a hurry as Orlando Pirates made light work of Kaizer Chiefs in the semi-finals of the MTN8 earlier this season.
Pirates made Chiefs the laughing stock of South African football when they humiliated them 5-0 on aggregate in the MTN8 semi-finals.
The Buccaneers whipped Amakhosi 3-0 in the first leg and rubbed more salt into the wound giving them a 2-0 hiding in the second leg eight days later.
It is then no wonder that Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt is yet to overcome the disappointment of losing two matches to Pirates in successive weekends.
It is with that in mind that Hunt is chasing a positive result when Amakhosi visit the Buccaneers in a DStv Premiership match at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Saturday (15h30).
“We are looking forward to the game. Hopefully, we will get a positive result,” Hunt said.
“Right now we are not thinking about what’s gone before. This is a different game. We certainly gonna look at the bigger picture. Hopefully, we will see an improvement on Saturday.”
Meanwhile, Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer also agrees with Hunt that this is going to be a different game.
“I think the players know what happened. We won the last two games in the MTN8, but this one is different. We play a league game, we are fighting for points,” Zinnbauer said.
