Telkom KO semi-final clash goes to Durban

Posted in News on Mar 30, 2010.

The Telkom Knockout semi-final featuring Soweto giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will be played on Easter Monday at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Kick-off is at 3pm.



The other semi-final between holders Ajax Cape Town and AmaZulu

will take place at Bloemfontein's Seisa Ramabodu Stadium on

Saturday at 8.15pm.



The venues were released by the Premier Soccer League on Monday

night.



The Soweto Derby is expected to attract a capacity crowd of over

50 000 to the Moses Mabhida Stadium which is one of the new

stadiums custom build to host the World Cup which kicks off in

June.



Both clubs were happy with the arrangement: Said Amakhosi coach

Vladimir Vermezovic: “It does not matter where we play. We have

played both games in the Knockout away from home so I am not

worried about the venue.”



A sell crowd of 28 000 at Atteridgeville's Super Stadium last

Sunday saw Chiefs beat Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 much more easily than

the score suggests and that means Amakhosi start as slight

favourites to beat their arch rivals for the first time this season

when Durban fans are treated to a bonus Soweto Derby.



Both Absa Premiership matches the two Soweto clubs have ended in

0-0 draws.



But on Monday if scores are level extra time and if necessary a

penalty shootout will decide who plays in the final.
