“Hopefully, we will get a reasonable official. My mind goes back to Orlando Pirates playing against TP Mazembe and the late Senzo pulling off multiple penalty saves,” he told KickOff.

This will be the second time that United face Mazembe in this campaign, having played to two draws against them in the group stages.

And you have to ride those waves while they come. Hopefully we can keep that momentum going it has been a long story for us,” Matthews said.
