Middendorp demands Kaizer Chiefs forget Nedbank Cup exit as Soweto Derby beckons

Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has stressed on the need to quickly forget about last weekend’s Nedbank Cup exit and immediately focus on the Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates on Saturday.

Middendorp’s men were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup by Highlands Park 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra-time last Saturday.

This leaves the Premier Soccer League (PSL) title as their only remaining chance of finishing the season with a piece of silverware.
