Marumo Gallants goalkeeper Washington Arubi has suggested that being the underdogs in the Carling Knockout final against Orlando Pirates will invigorate them, quipping he had a secret weapon to stop penalties should the game head that direction.
Marumo and Pirates meet in the Carling Knockout decider at Peter Mokaba Stadium tomorrow 6pm. Pirates have already bagged the first trophy of the campaign, the MTN8, and are hot favourites to dispatch Marumo, having also been in red-hot form in the domestic league, with nine wins and a draw in their last 10 outings.
Arubi likes that theyre not favourites, also revealing that he has a secret to save penalties should the game go that route. Arubi has already proven to be a good penalty saver in this tournament, having saved a few penalties in the first round and in the semifinal against Mamelodi Sundowns and Golden Arrows, respectively.
