Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals confirmed

The stage is set for the quarterfinals of the 2023/24 Carling Knockout Cup, following a thrilling draw that unfolded in Tshwane on Sunday evening. This year's competition has already seen some shocking upsets, with Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs exiting early, while TS Galaxy and AmaZulu advanced to the last eight of the domestic cup tournament.

SuperSport United, who secured third place last season, suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of Polokwane City at TUT Stadium, with a staggering 4-0 loss on Sunday. Cape Town City also faced elimination after losing 3-1 to the Golden Arrows.

In addition to the prestigious title, a prize of R6.5 million awaits the tournament's winners. However, what has been the talk of the town is the R100,000 awarded to the Man of the Match winners. Many believe this incentive has heightened the performances of South African top-flight stars.

The Orlando Pirates, who have been a dominant force in domestic cup competitions since the arrival of head coach Jose Riveiro, are among the favorites to claim yet another title. They recently secured a 2-0 victory against the Cape Town Spurs in Orlando on Friday evening.

The quarter-final matchups are as follows:

1. Polokwane City vs Stellenbosch FC

2. Sekhukhune United vs TS Galaxy

3. Richards Bay vs Orlando Pirates

4. AmaZulu vs Golden Arrows

Football enthusiasts can anticipate an exciting showdown as all roads lead to the Peter Mokaba Stadium on January 6th, where the Carling Knockout champions will face off against the All-Star PSL XI, chosen by the fans. The road to glory is becoming increasingly competitive, promising more thrilling moments in the coming rounds.

Molefi Ntseki's crucial meeting with Kaizer Chiefs management after AmaZulu FC defeat

In the wake of Kaizer Chiefs' disheartening defeat at the hands of AmaZulu FC, head coach Molefi Ntseki finds himself at a crossroads, with his future at the club under intense scrutiny. The fallout from this defeat has magnified the ongoing struggles for Ntseki and the Chiefs, leading to critical discussions with the management.

The AmaZulu FC encounter was a crucial one for Kaizer Chiefs, one that carried high expectations and a weight of significance. However, the outcome was far from what the Chiefs faithful had hoped for, leaving fans and pundits questioning the team's direction.

The loss to AmaZulu FC was not an isolated incident but rather the latest chapter in a season marked by inconsistent performances and early exits from competitions. Ntseki's tenure, which began with optimism, has faced growing challenges, with results on the pitch falling short of the standards expected by the club and its supporters.

Following the AmaZulu FC defeat, discussions about Ntseki's future have gained momentum. The pressure on the coach has intensified as fans express their dissatisfaction with the team's performance. Many believe that changes are needed to steer the Kaizer Chiefs back on track, but whether Ntseki is the one to lead that change remains uncertain.

The meetings between Ntseki and the Kaizer Chiefs management are likely to be pivotal moments for the club's future. These discussions will provide an opportunity for all parties to assess the current situation, express their viewpoints, and explore potential resolutions.

As fans and the football community wait with bated breath, the fate of Molefi Ntseki at Kaizer Chiefs hangs in the balance. The team's upcoming matches will undoubtedly play a decisive role in shaping the narrative for Ntseki and the club.

The future is uncertain, and the Kaizer Chiefs faithful are left to ponder whether their beloved club can reclaim its glory under Ntseki's leadership or if a new chapter is on the horizon. The road ahead is rife with uncertainty, but one thing is for sure: the football world will be watching closely as this story unfolds.

Mngqithi: No shame in benefiting from refereeing decisions

Mamelodi Sundowns' assistant coach, Manqoba Mngqithi, has declared that there is no shame in benefiting from questionable officiating, emphasizing that such occurrences are part of football. His comments come amid controversy over refereeing decisions in recent matches involving Sundowns.

Sundowns reached the MTN8 final after a contentious moment in their semi-final clash against Kaizer Chiefs, where what seemed to be a clear penalty was not awarded to the Chiefs in the dying minutes of the match. If the penalty had been given and converted, it would have allowed the Chiefs to advance on the away goals rule.

Additionally, the previous encounter between Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, the two MTN8 finalists, was decided by a penalty, which Lucas Ribeiro Costa successfully converted, securing a 1-0 victory for Sundowns in the DStv Premiership clash.

Despite these controversies, Mngqithi remains unapologetic, stating that every team in football has experienced such moments of fortune. He highlighted that football outcomes can be influenced by refereeing decisions and that Sundowns, like other teams, have benefited from such incidents in the past.

Mngqithi expressed gratitude for the opportunity to compete in the MTN8 final and acknowledged that referees, like all humans, can make mistakes in the heat of the moment. He defended match officials, noting that they do not have the benefit of slow-motion replays to review decisions and must make quick judgments.

The assistant coach also suggested that the upcoming final between Sundowns and Pirates, which has generated considerable excitement among football fans, is a testament to the unpredictability and thrilling nature of the sport. He thanked the footballing gods for granting them the opportunity to showcase their talents in such a high-stakes encounter.

As the anticipation for the MTN8 final builds, football enthusiasts eagerly await the outcome of refereeing decisions, with the focus on a captivating showdown between two football giants eager to secure victory.

Ncikazi found himself red-carded in a match involving these two teams last month, resulting in his suspension.

He raised concerns about certain decisions that seemed to favor Sundowns in past matches, particularly the instance where a penalty was awarded when Themba Zwane appeared to be fouled inside the penalty area. Ncikazi also cited the recent incident involving Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs when a possible penalty for Chiefs was overlooked, leading to a referee being placed in a rehabilitation program by SAFA's disciplinary board.

Ncikazi emphasized the importance of fairness in football and called for a transparent approach to refereeing decisions. He expressed hope that the upcoming match on Saturday would remain free from controversies and that the true essence of football would prevail.

Mandla Ncikazi boasts experience in securing victory in the MTN8 competition, having achieved this feat twice before. His first success came while serving as an assistant coach with the Golden Arrows, followed by another triumph as part of the coaching staff with the Orlando Pirates.

Speaking at an MTN8 final breakfast event attended by various esteemed figures in football, including PSL acting CEO Mato Madlala and Sports Minister Z**i Kodwa, Ncikazi articulated his longing for equitable play and transparency in refereeing decisions.

He acknowledged the significant contributions of individuals who have supported and nurtured his coaching career. Notably, Ncikazi recognized the pivotal role played by Mato Madlala in providing opportunities and invaluable guidance.
