Overview
- Stellenbosch won 2-1 in Cape Town to reach the last 16, with Ibraheem Jabaar converting a 10th-minute penalty and Devin Titus adding a long-range strike before Flávio Da Silva pulled one back from the spot.
- The tie was played at a sold-out DHL Stadium with a reported 36,101 crowd and a kickoff delayed by about 30 minutes.
- Kaizer Chiefs missed multiple one-on-one chances, hit the woodwork, and were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Sage Stephens.
- Co-coach Cedric Kaze said Chiefs began with the wrong attitude and conceded avoidable goals, adding that a congested schedule has affected readiness.
- Gavin Hunt praised his side’s display and said it could have been 3-1, as Chiefs now host Al Masry on Sunday in Polokwane with Group D led by Zamalek on 8 points and both Chiefs and Al Masry on 7.
