The quarter-final matches of the Nwali Soccer Tournament will be played at the Khubvi Benjie's Grounds this weekend. Two matches will be played on Saturday, while the remaining two will be staged the following day.
Saturday's programme will open with the match between Berea FC and Nweli Stone Breakers, which is scheduled to start at 13:00. Berea's way to the quarter-final round went via Makonde FC, whom they crushed 5-4 last Saturday. The winner was determined through a penalty-shootout, following a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation time.
Nweli Stone Breakers beat Tswera Hot Chilies 4-3 to secure a place in the top-8 round of the tournament. The winner was also determined through a penalty-shootout as the score was 1-1 when the referee blew the final whistle.
The ABC Motsepe League side, Vondwe XI Bullets, will do battle against Tshivhazwaulu Peace Makers in the last fixture of the day. This one is scheduled to start at 15:00. The spirit is high in the Bullets' camp after they crushed Tshanzhe Pre-Mighty 4-1 at the same venue last Saturday. Underestimating Peace Makers, however, will be a suicidal mistake for XI Bullets as Peace Makers were crowned the Safa Vhembe Stream D2 champions last Saturday.
Tshimuthe FC will lock horns with Rockers FC in the opening fixture on Sunday. Tshimuthe were lucky to score the only goal when they beat Musasenda Big Five 1-0 last Saturday. The day's programme will be wrapped up by the match between Mukula Young Santos and United Artists, which is scheduled to start at 15:00. The semi-final and final matches will be played at the same venue next Friday, 16 June.
