3 MATCH FACTS This will be the first ever cup meeting between Baroka FC and Orlando Pirates and just the sixth clash between the sides overall. Baroka FC have yet to taste victory against Pirates, with their first three encounters all ending in 1-1 draws, followed a 3-1 home success for The Buccaneers and a 2-1 away win earlier this season. Thembinkosi Lorch and Vincent Pule were on the scoresheet for Pirates in that league win earlier in the campaign on September 22, with Botswana international Onkabetse Makgantai netting a consolation for Baroka. All five of the previous clashes between these teams have seen both sides on the scoresheet, with neither yet able to keep a clean sheet. That includes dramatic late equalisers, with the most famous being former Baroka goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke s 95 th minute over-head kick that was nominated for the 2017 FIFA Puskás Award. Baroka are yet to concede a goal in their three Telkom Knockout matches so far in 2018, securing wins over Lamontville Golden Arrows (2-0), Mamelodi Sundowns (2-0) and BidVest Wits (1-0). Baroka are appearing in a first ever cup final having twice before made the semifinals of the country s FA Cup, in the first instance while still a third-tier side in They beat another Soweto giant, Kaizer Chiefs, on their run to the Last 4.. Pirates are appearing in a ninth Telkom Knockout final, but have only claimed victory once, also in There they beat BidVest Wits 3-1 in the final to end their long wait to lift the trophy. Pirates forward Thembinkosi Lorch goes into the final as the top-scorer in this year s competition with three goals, two against AmaZulu in the quarterfinals and one versus Kaizer Chiefs in the semis. Baroka are seeking a first ever piece of major silverware while Pirates have not won a trophy since lifting the FA Cup in May 2014, a wait that will be extended to five years at least if they are not victorious in the Telkom Knockout decider. Either coach, Wedson Nyirenda (Baroka) and Micho Sredojevic (Pirates) will earn a first piece of silverware in South African football when one of them ends up on the winning side at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

12 TOURNAMENT FACTS The Telkom Knockout was first played in 1982 as the Datsun Challenge, with the inaugural winners being Arcadia Shepherds, who defeated Highlands Park 2-0 in a replay after their initial match had finished 1-1.

After Kaizer Chiefs, the next highest number of tournament wins is three, with Mamelodi Sundowns having reached that mark in their 2015 victory and defending champions BidVest Wits notched their third in Ajax Cape Town, Jomo Cosmos, the now defunct Platinum Stars and Umtata Bush Bucks each have two wins.
