Mohammed Anas got the opener and his replacement Charlton Mashumba finished off the job as Polokwane reached the semi-final for the first time.

They proved full of fight, running and ultimately sharper in their finishing and did so without many of their regulars, including talisman Jabu Maluleke, who has a hamstring injury.

Keenu Cupido and Edmilson got in each other’s way at the end of a freekick chance in the 17th minute and Craig Martins found out that not being able to kick a shot with either foot is a major limitation in the game as he spurned a chance five minutes later. Anas was given too much time by a sloppy Cape Town City defence to bring the ball back onto his favoured right foot and bang it in across the goal and into the net with some power.

The ball struck Abubaker Mobara’s hand shortly into the second stanza but no penalty was given to Polokwane’s disappointment.
