Cup Final, Battle Royale.

South Africa’s leading petroleum brand*, would like to congratulate SuperSportUnited on reaching the final of the 2017 Nedbank Cup, played on Saturday June 24 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Kick-off is at 20h15.
Supersport United and Orlando Pirates have been in some major battles this season.
In the ten years of the Nedbank Cup competition, this will be the second time that SuperSport and the Buccaneers will face each other in the final. In 2016, Matsatsantsa were crowned champions when they beat Pirates 3-2 at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
United booked their spot in the final of the competition on Saturday, May 20, after defeating Chippa United 4-2 in a penalty shootout in Port Elizabeth, while Pirates edged Golden Arrows by a single-goal in KwaMashu.
United and Pirates locked horns three times this season. A 6-1 win in a PSL League game early in November, followed by a 1-0 victory in the Telkom Knockout semi-final and a 1-1 draw at the Soweto Stadium in March 2017, give United the edge going into this Cup Final.
The Nedbank Cup final brings the curtain down on not only the PSL season, but also Stuart Baxter’s tenure at SuperSport United and his players would want to give him a grand send-off.
Baxter took Matsatsantsa to the 2016 Nedbank Cup Final in his first five months in charge of the club and has since put together a formidable squad, making key signings to strengthen his team.
The SuperSport coach played down Matsatsantsa’s cup ambitions, however all indications are that SuperSport have been #RefuellingGreatness during the break; as they look retain their Nedbank Cup Championship title.
