Chippa coach Morgan Mammila was very unhappy with his side’s propensity for individual errors against Stellies, but believes they will put things right for the cup clash with Polokwane. “This is childish, to be honest, but I think my boys will come back stronger. We will learn from these mistakes, ” said Mammila. “I think we could have done better. How do you dominate a game, especially in the second half, and in the last five minutes you start committing schoolboy errors? “Once you see the centre-back and the ‘keeper making mistakes, it means there is something wrong; football is about 90 minutes. Just concentrate for the whole 90 minutes. ”He added, “It’s one of those games that we need to forget quickly so that we can look to the future.

City chief Tincy Tema has admitted that their focus is on promotion rather than a cup run, but they will nonetheless hope to put on a strong show against top-flight opposition. “The Nedbank Cup is not a priority for us, ” said Tema. “Our focus is getting back into the PSL but we will approach the match professionally. We will field a strong team for continuation so that the players can gel well and get stronger ahead of our league matches. ”He added, “It is a night game and the gates will open early and we would like to see fans rallying behind the team. ”Chippa, who were runners-up in the Nedbank Cup in 2021 (losing narrowly to Marumo Gallants), exited last year’s edition in the Last 32 when they were beaten by second-tier University of Pretoria – a fate they will be wary of suffering for a second season in succession. The Chilli Boys have struggled for form of late, claiming just one win from their last nine matches, and suffering a 2-1 loss at the hands of Stellenbosch FC on the first weekend of February to leave them in mid-table on the Premiership log.
Polokwane, Chippa round out Nedbank Cup Last 32 | SuperSportfootball12 February 2023 12:51| © Backpage TXT SharePuleng Marema (L) © Gallo ImagesPolokwane City and Chippa United will round out the Last 32 of the Nedbank Cup when they meet at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on the evening of Tuesday. Kick-off is at 7. 30pm CAT. Second-tier club Polokwane are back in the main draw of the Nedbank Cup thanks to a hard-earned win over provincial rivals Black Leopards in early January. The last time they appeared in the Nedbank Cup proper was in 2021, when they got as far as the Last 16 before suffering a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns. Rise and Shine have performed strongly in the Motsepe Foundation Championship this season and are pushing hard for promotion back to the DStv Premiership, though they dropped from top spot on the first weekend of February when they were held 0-0 by Cape Town Spurs, allowing Casric Stars to leapfrog them.
