Edson Castillo powered Kaizer Chiefs to the semifinals of the MTN8 with a 2-1 win over Cape Town City at Athlone Stadium on Sunday evening.
The Capetonians who made the trip to Athlone were thoroughly entertained in an open match between two heavyweights who backed their attacks to land a killer blow rather than be preoccupied with defending.
Khanyisa Mayo came close to putting daylight between City and Chiefs, but the joint top goalscorer of the 2022/23 DStv Premiership wasn’t wearing his scoring boots. The goals intensified this contest with a spot in the last four of the country’s richest cup competition up for grabs. Ntseki showed his hand when he made a double change to bring in Ranga Chivaviro and Christian Saile just after the hour mark.
Chiefs’ supporters wildly celebrated the goal and the win — especially with the country’s other two big teams having cruised to the last four.
