Cape Town City boss Eric Tinkler wants his players to go all out in a “must-win” PSL clash at Orlando Pirates this weekend.
Fifth-placed City are still eyeing a return to African competition, but are eight points off Bucs who occupy third place, which guarantees a place in the Caf Confederation Cup.
Following three draws from their last three outings before a break due to the Nedbank Cup, Tinkler warns his manne to hit the ground running.
Next up, Buccaneers on Saturday 💪![CDATA[]]>🔵
