Maritzburg United midfielder Deolin Mekoa is looking forward to his side’s Telkom Knockout clash with Kaizer Chiefs this forthcoming weekend.

Mekoa was in action as his side were defeated 2-0 by the Amakhosi in the Premiership last month, but the midfielder believes they were unlucky to not have taken points off the Glamour Boys that day.

‘I was really waiting to draw against Kaizer Chiefs because in the league it was something else. So with this game we just want to go out there and show them that we are capable of winning against them,’ Mekoa told KickOff.

‘We didn’t deserve to lose that game because the way we started off that game. I mean 20 minutes into the game we were dominating after our goals were disallowed, that is when everything just went down. So they owe us,’ he claimed.

Mekoa is adamant his side has a chance of picking up silverware, particularly from cup competitions.

‘We give our all because when we talk we always have some targets. What we really target are the tournaments or cup games while in the league we challenge for a spot in the top-eight place. It is possible we can go all the way,’ he concluded.

The sides will renew hostilities when they meet at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, where the action starts at 20:15.
