Latest Nedbank Cup results on Saturday, 14 March

The Nedbank Cup is its business end, with the quarterfinals taking place this weekend.

The competition has seen the PSL’s big guns fall away in its early stages, with past winners such as Supersport United, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs falling away in the opening rounds.

The last eight is upon us, and in it remains 2010 winners Bidvest Wits, who have booked a spot in the semis and four-time champs Mamelodi Sundowns, who take to the field on Saturday evening.

Wits became the first team to book their spot in the last four of the Nedbank Cup after beating first division outfit Real Kings 4-0 at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday.

The Limpopo derby between Baroka and Black Leopards kicks off Saturday’s Nedbank Cup quarterfinal action, with the game taking place at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

The two rivals have had a tough time in the league this season, particularly Leopards, who occupy the bottom spot.

Baroka are not too far ahead, with only three points separating them from the relegation zone.

League woes will be placed aside on Saturday, as the two sides seek a semifinal spot.

Highlands Park vs Mamelodi Sundowns at Makhulong Stadium, Kick-off at 18:00 (SAST)

It’s Mamelodi Sundowns’ turn to head to the slaughterhouse that is Makhulong Stadium, as they take on Highlands Park in what is undoubtedly the pick of the round’s fixtures.

The Lions of the North went past Kaizer Chiefs in the Last 16, and will be eyeing another big scalp as they seek their first piece of silverware in the top flight.

They are bound to meet some resistance though against a club eyeing a domestic treble after crashing out of the Caf Champions League.
