It's been a few years since Sibusiso Zuma and Benedict Vilakazi featured in a domestic cup final, it's for that reason that the Mamelodi Sundowns duo want to make the MTN8 final against Kaizer Chiefs in Durban on Saturday a memorable one.
Zuma has yet to win any domestic trophies and the former Armenia Bielefeld goal poacher has a few ideas on how to beat Chiefs.
Speaking at the club headquarters on Wednesday after training, Zuma said he was hoping to set the final alight. He is fresh and keen to get into action after serving a two-match suspension. He was sent off in the MTN8 semi-final first leg against SuperSport United.

"Well at the moment I'm feeling okay. I'm starting to gel with the team and to understand their style of play, so this will be my first final with the team and I have to deliver.
"The fact that Sundowns failed to beat Chiefs in Cup finals on so many occasions will make us fight. We want to be part of history," said Zuma.
However, Zuma would not be drawn into the debate about Chiefs' recent dismal form giving Sundowns the edge for the final.
"I can't say they are off-form at the moment. They will fight to the end. We just hope at the end we will be the ones carrying off the trophy," said Zuma.
Vilakazi is of the opinion that it will be hard to top their performance against United in the semi-finals.
"This will be different though.
"But I'm looking forward to playing in the final. I will give my all."
