Watch as SuperSport United coach Kaitano Tembo and players Bradley Grobler, Sipho Mbule and Aubrey Modiba speak to the media in the buildup to the MTN8 semi-final second leg against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Matsatsantsa head into the game with a slight disadvantage after the first leg in the MTN8 ended 1-1, with Sundowns bagging a crucial away goal.

Tembo’s men, though, have been flying high since their opening-day 2-0 league loss against Masadawana, picking up three wins and three draws in all competitions, but it has been their goal-scoring form that has really caught the eye.

With Thamisanqua Gabuza and Grobler leading the line, SuperSport have scored 13 goals in their last five games across all competitions. They will be confident of overcoming their neighbours in the second leg and book a spot in the MTN8 final for a third consecutive season.

The club invited the media to an open day on Monday, where Tembo discussed the need for his team to be able to manage the game better and also touched on their confidence and mood in the camp.
