Stellenbosch FC v TS Galaxy – Carling Knockout final, 16 December, Moses Mabhida Stadium, 15h00
Right from the commencement of the tournament in October, it was always evident that the so-called smaller sides were not willing to be pushed around and bullied by their massively supported counterparts in the newly launched Carling Knockout. It is therefore no surprise that after all is said and done, two modest sides in the form of Stellenbosch FC and TS Galaxy have made it to the final of the competition. To think that the Winelands outfit were founded in 2016, while the Rockets only saw the light of day a year earlier! Credit needs to be given to layers from both camps for the effort they’ve put in, as well as the coaches who’ve plotted the downfall of their opponents along the way. Unfortunately, though, only one team will lay their hands on the trophy come Saturday afternoon in Durban. Who will it be? Soccer Laduma’s Tshepang Mailwane reviews the game.
