However, midfield wizard Vincent Pule believes they will give usurping the Brazilians all they have, saying to SowetanLIVE:

"We have a good depth in our squad. We have so many good players who can compete anywhere in the world and that will play a big role in us gunning for everything this season. Games are coming in thick and fast but I don't see us struggling because we have so many players."

The 30-year-old Pule was speaking at the launch of the Carling Black Label Cup that was held at Soccer City in the south of Johannesburg yesterday. As reported by SuperSport, the tournament will consist of four teams that will compete for the trophy in a single-day event on the 12th of November.

The Carling Black Label Cup is the reincarnation of the Telkom Charity Cup that was last held in 2010. Members of the public can vote an unlimited number of times for the teams they wish to participate in the extravaganza.

'Maritzburg United player dived to fool referee for controversial penalty against Orlando Pirates': Ace Ngcobo

Former referee Andile "VAR" Ncobo has confirmed what many knew regarding a controversial incident from the past weekend.

Speaking on SuperSport show Extra Time, Ncobo said that Maritzburg United striker Siboniso Conco made the most of duping referee Tshidiso Maruping into awarding what would be the winning penalty against Orlando Pirates.

However, ex-Orlando Pirates striker Phumudzo Manenzhe, who is on the review show's panel, instead chose to criticise Ndah for falling for Conco's skulduggery.
