While Black Leopards are still trying to come to terms with their 1-3 defeat against Maritzburg United in their Nedbank last-32 match at the Harry Gwala Stadium last Wednesday, three Limpopo teams, Magezi FC, Baroka FC and Polokwane City, secured places in the next stage of the competition.
Magezi beat EC Bees 2-1 at the Buffalo City Stadium in East London on Saturday. The visitors from Limpopo took the lead in the 34th minute via Sakhile Nhlabathi. He received a neat pass from Prince Matlakani and beat the keeper with a ground cutter. Magezi effected the only change in the game, five minutes into the last half. They introduced Wonderboy Makhubu for Prince Matlakani.
Magezi increased the margin in the 64th minute when Makhubu scored with a half volley. Bees pulled one back through James Mkwanazi four minutes before the final whistle.
Baroka FC rose to the occasion and beat the PSL side, Chippa United, 3-2 on Sunday. Kaizer Chiefs are also out of the competition. They lost 0-2 to Orlando Pirates at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Highlandspark lost 0-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns. Polokwane City are still in with a chance, following their 2-0 victory over African All Stars. Mbombela United crushed Sibanye Golden Stars 4-0 at the Clifford Stadium in Welkom and United Rovers were brutally walloped 0-7 by Mpumalanga Black Aces.
Polokwane City Rovers suffered a 0-5 defeat at the hands of University of Pretoria and Free State Stars were too good for Ajax Cape Town, whom they beat 2-1 in Cape Town. Golden Arrows beat Milford FC 2-1 at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban and Mthatha Bucks lost 0-1 to Santos at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.
