Leopards and Park in Telkom clash

 

Black Leopards and Highlands Park played to a 1-1 draw in their Absa Premiership League match at the Thohoyandou Stadium last month, and they will meet again in their Telkom KO Competition match at the Makhulong Stadium in Thembisa on Sunday afternoon.

This time around a winner must be determined. Should no winner emerge at the end of regulation time, an extra 30 minutes will be added. In case no winner has been determined after extra time, the teams will go for penalty shootout.

This match is the second official one for Mr Luc Eymael as the Leopards’ head coach. He sat on the team’s technical bench for the first time in their home game against Mamelodi Sundowns three weeks ago. Lidoda Duvha lost 1-2 to Sundowns.

Thabo Matlaba, the Leopards’ skipper, who watched their game against Sundowns from the grandstand because of injury, will be available for selection on Sunday. Should he be given the chance on Sunday, Matlaba is expected to form a good combination with Khuliso Mudau and Pentjie Zulu in the backline.

As for the Park’s crowd pullers, Rodney Ramagalela and Marks Munyai, the time has come to rub shoulders with their former teammates. Munyai and Ramagalela are products of Lidoda Duvha.

Mamelodi Sundowns will host Amazulu at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria in the other match that will also be played on Sunday. Cape Town City are waiting for Kaizer Chiefs at the Cape Town Stadium tomorrow. Lamontville Golden Arrows will host Polokwane City at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban.

Orlando Pirates will have a date with the rookies, Stellenbosch FC, at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg. SuperSport United will rub shoulders with Baroka FC at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria. Bidvest Wits will pay a visit to Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg. The match between Chippa United and Bloemfontein Celtic will be played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth next Tuesday, 22 October.
