Meanwhile, Spurs had been in fantastic form in the Motsepe Foundation
Championship, and were looking to extend their winning streak.
The match started off slowly, with both sides struggling to find their
rhythm.
However, in the 18th minute, Sekhukhune United broke the deadlock through
a well-taken free kick from midfielder Siyabonga Mokotjo.
The goal seemed to spark the home side into life, and they continued to
dominate the game for the rest of the first half.
Spurs, however, started the second half with renewed energy, and in the
56th minute, they equalized through a powerful header from substitute
Thabo Ryan.
The rest of the second half was an even affair, with both sides having
chances to take the lead. In the end, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, with
both sides progressing to the quarter-finals.
Overall, it was an entertaining match between two evenly matched sides.

where they will face a tough test against either Kaizer Chiefs or
Maritzburg United.
