Former Orlando Pirates attacking midfielder Sinoxolo Kwayiba continued his impressive run of form after scoring a brilliant goal to help Stellenbosch FC secure a 2-1 victory over AmaZulu FC in the Carling Knockout Cup on Sunday.
The Cape Winelands outfit booked their place in the semi-finals following a competitive encounter in which Kwayiba once again demonstrated his attacking quality and growing importance to the team.
Kwayiba was among the standout performers, producing an excellent finish to find the back of the net and give Stellenbosch a crucial advantage. The goal was particularly significant because it was his third in the Carling Knockout competition, highlighting his effectiveness in front of goal and his growing influence in the tournament.
Chumani Butsaka also contributed to Stellenbosch's victory by getting his name on the scoresheet. His goal helped the home side establish an advantage in a match that required concentration and discipline, particularly as AmaZulu continued searching for a way back into the contest.
AmaZulu managed to make things interesting after Gopolang Taunyana scored an own goal, reducing the deficit and giving the visitors renewed hope during the closing stages.
However, Stellenbosch remained composed under pressure and successfully protected their lead to secure a 2-1 victory and advance to the last four.
For Kwayiba, the performance represents another important milestone as he continues building his career at Stellenbosch. Having previously attracted attention during his time at Orlando Pirates, the attacking midfielder is now getting an opportunity to establish himself and demonstrate his abilities in a different environment.
His three goals in the competition suggest that he is gradually adapting to his new surroundings and becoming an important attacking option for the club.
Stellenbosch will be delighted with his contribution as they continue their pursuit of Carling Knockout silverware. Kwayiba will now be hoping to maintain his scoring form when the semi-finals arrive, with the opportunity to help his team move one step closer to lifting the trophy.
