If anything the evidence on South Africa’s return to professional football with Saturday’s Nedbank Cup semifinal double header at Orlando Stadium‚ where Sundowns beat Wits 3-2 in the late game‚ is that the Clever Boys want to go out fighting and prove some points.
Gavin Hunt’s team were certainly unfortunate not to have reached the final on September 8 against Bloemfontein Celtic‚ 3-0 winners against 10-man Baroka FC in the early game‚ for a chance to bow out of professional football after a 99-year-history with a bang. “These people they come back. This is not a team that has been sold‚ hey. This is not a team that you’d say their future is no longer there at Wits.
“So we respect them and this is a warning to anyone to say‚ ‘Hey‚ if you’re going to play Bidvest Wits be very careful. Don’t think about Tshakhuma and all those things.Hunt hinted that the decisions by referee Luxolo Badi appeared to be unfavourable to his team.“Sundowns’ first goal [by Ricardo Nascimento]‚ if that’s a penalty I don’t know‚ their second goal [by Keletso Makgalwa]‚ a huge mistake [by Wits keeper Brighton Mhlongo]‚ the third goal‚ if it’s a foul great.
