Watch as SuperSport United coach Kaitano Tembo speaks to the media ahead of the MTN8 final matchup with Highlands Park.
SuperSport will compete in their third straight final on Saturday and Tembo is keen to get over the heartbreak of last year’s penalty shootout loss against Cape Town City.
Matsatsantsa come into the game as many people’s favourites to claim the MTN8 crown after they smashed Bidvest Wits 3-0 in the quarters, and then defeated Absa Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns 3-1 over their two-legged semi-final.

Their opponents, Highlands Park, however, have been impressive since returning to the Absa Premiership after they finished seventh last season, booking them a spot in the top-eight competition. They continued to make waves this season as they knocked out Orlando Pirates with a 1-0 win in the quarters before overcoming Polokwane City in the semi-finals.
