The iDiski TV analyst predicted a 5-0 win for Sundowns in the final, but the Limpopo side did the unthinkable by defeating the Brazilians 2-1 while rallying from a goal down.

Tshepo Kakora and Delano Abrahams cancelled Iqraam Rayners' first-half goal as Magesi set a new record of becoming the first newly promoted side to win the Carling Knockout Cup.

Khanye reacts after predicting the Carling Knockout Cup final wrongly

Khanye, while sharing his thoughts on iDiski TV, admitted he predicted the game wrongly as he didn't see Magesi winning the match.

The former South African international considered the quality of players in each team before making his prediction.

"The basis, I have to admit, my prediction; I believe mine was incorrect," he said.
"Kudos to Magesi. I have to tell the truth because if you check the quality of the stars at Sundowns, I don't have to explain it, but I never saw Magesi being better overall.
"It confirmed today that there's a bunch of things Manqoba Mngqithi must do; we must be sincere. I'm not labelling him; the manager did outstanding jobs in other games; we have to tell the truth."

Magesi will hope to avoid relegation the Betway Premiership, while Sundowns are battling to retain the league title and also win the CAF Champions League.
