Carling Cup Draw: Big three set for semi finals as they avoid each other
The Carling Knockout Cup quarterfinal draw is out, and it has delivered some juicy fixtures.
The seeded draw meant the Gauteng top three – Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns – could not meet each other, so the big guns were kept apart.
Here is what is on the menu:
Stellenbosch FC v AmaZulu FC
Orlando Pirates v Sekhukhune United
Kaizer Chiefs v Siwelele FC
Mamelodi Sundowns v Golden Arrows
The defending champions face Sekhukhune United after cruising past Milford FC 3-0 in the first round, though Abdeslam Ouaddou was far from satisfied with his players on the night.
Amakhosi host Siwelele after Wandile Duba’s hat-trick demolished TS Galaxy and ended a five-game winless run. Fernando Da Cruz will hope his side’s confidence is back.
Sundowns face a familiar face in Golden Arrows’ new coach Mandla Ncikazi, the former Orlando Pirates co-coach who has just returned to Abafana Bes’thende. Miguel Cardoso’s men edged Gallants 1-0 to get here.
Gavin Hunt’s Stellenbosch, the 2023 champions, take on an AmaZulu side flying in the league under Arthur Zwane.
