Kaizer Chiefs progressed to the last 8 of the Telkom Knockout after they beat Cape Town City 4-2 in penalty shootout at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. The match had ended 1-1 after 90 minutes and with no goals in extra time, it was Chiefs who came through in the deciding penalties.

Experience and mental strength proved the difference as the recently crowned MTN 8 Champions Supersport United gained momentum in extra time and held their nerve during the penalty shoot-out despite missing their opening two kicks.

Supersport United ensured Baroka FC will not be defending their Telkom Knockout trophy by knocking them out in the opening round with a 3-2 penalty shoot-out win at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville on Saturday night.

Mayambela says though those games against Chiefs are always big occasions and the players do not need any extra motivation.

Leeuweburgh says Chiefs are in good form and are the team to beat, and he is expecting an entertaining open game from both teams.

City lost 2-1 to Chiefs in the league at Newlands Stadium earlier this season, and Leeuwenburgh says they have analysed that game where City started well before eventually losing.

Telkom Knockout action hits Cape Town tomorrow afternoon, when Cape Town City will host Kaizer Chiefs at the Cape Town Stadium in a last 16 clash.

Sasman had got a lot to prove at Chiefs, there’s also this notion that Western Cape players find it hard to settle in Johannesburg .
