The big game postponed


Evidence Mahlalela

A game that was scheduled for Saturday 21 at Kamhlushwa stadium will no longer take place due to the Nedbank Cup clash. Mbombela United was supposed to visit their biggest competitor Phiva Young Stars at their home, however Nedbank shattered that dream.
The United’s side couldn't have wanted this game set for another day than this Saturday with the winning momentum the team is currently holding. There’s no doubt that this match was going to be a blast, after all Phiva would have wanted to regain their dignity and make their fans proud after their loss on Friday. The two have clashed for several times and turns out that is either a draw or Mbombela triumph.
Phiva struggled to beat united in league games and only won once on penalties when the two clashed on the Nedbank Cup 2014/2015 qualifiers.   Most fans wish the game was not postponed because it’s a big game and they were ready for it. If they talk about a derby you got to see this one, this is the kind of game that leaves fans devastated. It’s indeed a game of football involving different emotions. Out of all games both sides awaits for the big moment of clashing against each other. When the two giants clash the stadium capacity will tell you that indeed these are giants with massive supporters. Fans will have to wait for SAFA to announce the new date for the match, till then they must remain patient.
