The trip to Makhulong Stadium won’t be easy, says Downs’ Pitso Mosimane

It will be either Mamelodi Sundowns or Highlands Park and one of the Limpopo sides – Baroka FC or Black Leopards – who will face off in the next round.

The two are the only ones remaining from the lower division and would be eager to emulate what TS Galaxy achieved last season when the Rockets lifted the trophy. Downs coach Pitso Mosimane has admitted a trip to Makhulong Stadium won’t be an easy one. He conceded that not many teams come back alive from Tembisa, where Highlands play their home matches.

“It’s forever a difficult game. Highlands Park are a tough team. You need to be in good physical shape to play Highlands Park and you don’t need to go 120 minutes with Highlands Park. They are a tough team, especially at home, at their place. It’s not a nice place to go because not many people come back with a victory there. Tembisa is not an easy place to go, that’s why not many people come back from that place. They are a strong team.
