Overview
- The PSL announced on Thursday that Kaizer Chiefs vs Siwelele will kick off at 18:00 instead of 15:00, and that both Carling Knockout quarter-finals scheduled for Sunday will start at 18:00.
- The change was made to avoid a timing conflict with Mamelodi Sundowns’ CAF Super Cup match against USM Alger, which the league said took scheduling priority.
- Tickets for all four quarter-final matches are on sale only via Open Tickets at R100 each, with purchases limited to online channels.
- Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz said playing at New Peter Mokaba Stadium is not a disadvantage and that the team’s focus is reaching the semi-final, while Siwelele coach Godfrey Mosoetsa said his players are highly motivated to face Chiefs.
- Mamelodi Sundowns have already reached the Carling Knockout semi-finals after an Iqraam Rayners header beat Golden Arrows, and the other quarter-finals are Orlando Pirates vs Sekhukhune United (Saturday, 15:00) and Stellenbosch vs AmaZulu (Sunday, 18:00).
