Silver Strikers coach Peter Mgangira wants his team to step up for their important cup match against Civil Service United. The game happens this Sunday at Bingu National Stadium with a final spot on the line. His team beat Civil Service 2-0 earlier this month during regular league play. Mgangira says this knockout game feels completely different from their previous meeting. The coach knows his players must stay focused and ready for anything.
The team recently tied 1-1 with Blue Eagles but Mgangira believes they have bounced back from that result. He thinks Silver Strikers deserves to play championship games and his squad understands what they need to do. The coach feels confident about their chances of winning. Training sessions have gone well as players prepare for the big match. Team morale looks strong heading into the semifinal.
Several injured players have returned to help the team at the right time. Forward Emmanuel Allan missed the last game but can play again on Sunday. Defender Maxwell Paipi also recovered from his injury and looks ready to contribute. Their return gives the coach more options when picking his starting lineup. Mgangira believes having healthy players back will make a difference against tough opponents.
