Despite beating AmaZulu 3-1 in the PSL Premier Division last weekend, Cape Town Spurs Ernst Middendorp says there is no light at the end of the tunnel for his team just yet.
Spurs are looking to make it two from two for the first time this season when they tackle NFD frontrunners University of Pretoria at Tuks Stadium in the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 tonight at 7pm.

While it will be a big test for Spurs, the match can also give them yet another confidence boost as they look to continue their good start to the year after only one league win in 2023 which sees them propping up the PSL Premier Division table.

And after beating AmaZulu, Middendorp says: “I said it at the beginning that we are chasing something impossible. That’s the reality.
“Chasing is allowed and it is what we are doing. But there is no light at the end of the tunnel, not yet.”
With Boitumelo Radiopane coming back from injury and a few others still out, the coach adds: “We need these guys, there’s no doubt about it, but everybody needs to step up and do the right stuff.”
Thank you to the ones who have never given up on us, that Victory is for YOU! 🙏![CDATA[]]>🏽![CDATA[]]>🛡️#OURFANS pic.twitter.com/paKn4m3A3k
