Manqoba Mngqithi has a tough job ahead of their semifinal match against Marumo Gallants this afternoon

Manqoba Mngqithi has a tough task in his hands.

Mngqithi’s Golden Arrows face Marumo Gallants this afternoon in a Carling Cup Knockout semi-final having faced them a week ago today.

In the PSL tie last week, Arrows thumped Gallants 4-0.

That emphatic victory is likely to make it hard for Mngqithi to motivate and encourage his side not to be complacent ahead of this semi-final match at King Zwelithini Stadium.

"The worst part is that the little successes we've had, we have to clamp down on any big heads that may be beginning to emerge. When you begin to feel like you can stroll through games, then it's a problem,” Mngqithi said on Friday.

This afternoon the two sides face each other hoping to complete the final puzzle of the Carling Knockout final. Pirates lie in waiting for the winner of this game as they booked their place yesterday when they beat Richards Bay 1-0.

The match starts at 3pm.
