The anticipation was palpable as football enthusiasts eagerly awaited the draw for the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals, which unfolded this past Sunday.
The previous round saw giants Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs fall to the likes of TS Galaxy and AmaZulu FC. As the dust settled, the stage was set for an exciting quarter-final line-up.
Orlando Pirates remained steadfast in their quest for another title after a victory over Cape Town Spurs at Orlando Stadium last Friday night. They now face Richards Bay FC, who eliminated Moroka Swallows on Sunday afternoon.
However, Polokwane City emerged as the true protagonists of the round of 16, delivering a masterclass by beating SuperSport United 4-1. Their great performance earned them a place in the quarter-finals, where they will host Stellenbosch FC.
