Kaizer Chiefs fan expresses deep disappointment with Carling Knockout organisers

kaizer chiefs supporters have seen the Carling Knockout quarter-final schedule and don’t seem pleased about it.


Chiefs fans unhappy with Carling Knockout scheduling

“I am so disappointed at our PSL management for scheduling chiefs vs downs game at 18:00. There’s late arrival issues in South Africa, crime, safety and people coming to the games drunk. The game should be played at 15:00.”


Quarter-final ties look tasty

Kaizer Chiefs’ reward for thumping SuperSport 4-0 in the Carling Knockout is a quarter-final clash with the mighty Mamelodi Sundowns. This showdown takes place at FNB Stadium on Saturday 02 November at 18:00. Don’t miss it! Meanwhile, Richards Bay met Cape Town City earlier that day at the King Zwelithini. On Sunday 03 November, TS Galaxy hosts Orlando Pirates’ conquerers Magesi at Mbombela. Marumo Gallants meet holders Stellenbosch in the late game.

Amakhosi welcome Matlou and Potsane back from injuries

In early October, Chiefs issued a statement that winger Tebogo Potsane and midfielder George Matlou would return to action in November. They’re on schedule according to an updated statement:

“Another player progressing well is George Matlou. He has started running and doing some ball work and we are looking at a November return for him.

“Tebogo Potsane went for a scan which showed some ligament damage [in his ankle], so we expect him to be out for around three weeks.” 


Next up in the Betway Premiership

Changes will be kept to a minimum after Chiefs’ 4-0 drubbing of Matsatsantsa last time out. Edson Castillo could come into the engine room to replace Samkelo Zwane, although manager Nasreddine Nabi has been singing the 22-year-old schemer’s praises. Ranga Chivaviro has scored in three games on the bounce and will lead the line. Chivaviro, Yusuf Maart, Ashley Du Preez and the evergreen Gaston Sirino were the goal-scorers last weekend. Chiefs and Matsatsantsa lock horns on Saturday 26 October at 17:30.
