Orlando Pirates attacking defender Thabo Matlaba has asked his teammates to make the fipush towards the finals of the CAF Champions League as the Soweto giants prepare for a game of their lives against 2011 champions Esperance of Tunisia.
.
The first leg, semifinal encounter will take place on Saturday at Orlando Stadium, located in the heart of South Africa's biggest and sprawling township of Soweto. Kickoff is at 6pm, Live on SS9 and SSHD5.
.
"We have come so far and it will be a pity if we were to lose at this stage. We have travelled some very tricky paths and overcome some trying obstacles, so I don't see why we cannot put Esperance defence to sword on Saturday," said Matlaba on cafoline.com.
.
"We are hungry and fired up. I have never seen the boys in such tremendous focus. They are like troops eyeing to overrun their opponents."
.
The defender said he was aware of Esperance's impressive pedigree in the competition, having reached the finals of the last three editions and winning it in 2011.
