Kaizer Chiefs Await Their Nedbank Cup Quarter-Final Opponents

Kaizer Chiefs Await Their Nedbank Cup Quarter-Final Opponents

Ernst Middendorp

Ernst Middendorp says that Kaizer Chiefs are looking forward to seeing who they will face in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals, but when will the draw take place?

The final game of the Round of 16 will be played tonight as Black Leopards host Bidvest Wits in a replay after last week's game was called off due to inclement weather, with Chiefs, Cape Umoya United, Cape Town City, Chippa United, Golden Arrows, Bloemfontein Celtic and TS Galaxy having already booked their spots in the hat.

Middendorp, whose side saw off ABC Motsepe League side, The Magic FC, in extra-time, thinks that the club is not far off where they need to be.

He told the club's official website, "We are looking forward to seeing who our opponent in the quarter-final will be… There's not much lacking in our game. We are professionals. We would like to have scored earlier, but we contained their tactics and eventually succeeded with the 3-0 win as a result.

"We qualified for the next round of the Nedbank Cup. We will review this game and start preparing for our upcoming league fixture against Polokwane City."

Goals from Daniel Cardoso, Philani Zulu and Khama Billiat in extra-time were enough to put the side from Cape Town to bed, but Middendorp was the first to concede that they made it unnecessarily tough for themselves in Port Elizabeth. 

The Premier Soccer League confirmed that the draw will take place on Thursday night at 19h00 once all eight teams have been confirmed, but for now, the Glamour Boys will be focused on preparing for Saturday's clash in the Absa Premiership.
