Port Elizabeth will host a major football final for the first time in more than 40 years after Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium was named the venue for the Nedbank Cup final between Ajax Cape Town and Mamelodi Sundowns on May 16. The Capetonians are happy with the choice but Sundowns are displeased, as coach Pitso Mosimane had wanted the match to be played in Durban.Port Elizabeth last hosted a cup final in 1974 when the first leg of the BP Top 8 final was played at Wolfson Stadium. Daniel Mophosho scored twice as Moroka Swallows beat Orlando Pirates 3-1.The second leg, played at Orlando Stadium in Soweto, went into extra time and Pirates came from behind to win 7-6 on aggregate.The Friendly City has never hosted a deciding match in the country's top two knockout competitions - the Nedbank Cup and Telkom Knockout.Mosimane's siege mentality shifted into overdrive following the announcement of the venue.He said he would have preferred Durban, the PSL's default location in recent seasons."You've asked me for my opinion, and I really would not like to go to PE," he said. "But we don't have a say. Whether we like it or not, we will go. I think the conditions in PE suit Ajax better. I would have liked to go to Durban instead."The other problem with PE is the difficulty for our fans to get there. I don't know who makes these decisions and what helps them make these decisions. All I know is that this is difficult."Besides the venue, Mosimane has another pressing concern, having just managed two wins in six matches in all competitions. The coach has also had to defend his side's conservative approach.The Brazilians got over the line with narrow margins in two of those wins, which came en route to the cup final."We had a difficult crash," Mosimane, whose side surrendered the Premiership to Kaizer Chiefs last week, said."We went to TP Mazembe [for a CAF Champions League match] and lost 3-2 on aggregate. We came back and had to travel to Mpumalanga for a midweek game and there was drama there. That is the game that decided the league title."We then came back and faced Celtic. You know the story of that match, where we took the biggest dent and the biggest crash [a 5-0 defeat]. My players are human beings and to bring them out of this is not easy."..
