Lamontville Golden Arrows pulled off a major upset after defeating Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 in their MTN8 quarter-final clash at the FNB Stadium on Sunday.
A clinical finish from Shezi proved to be the difference as Arrows produced a disciplined and determined performance to knock Amakhosi out of the competition.
Chiefs pushed relentlessly in search of an equaliser and created pressure in the closing stages, but they were unable to find a way past Arrows’ well-organised and resilient defence.
The hard-fought victory sends Golden Arrows through to the MTN8 semi-finals, where they will face Mamelodi Sundowns in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Meanwhile, defending champions Orlando Pirates will take on Sekhukhune United in the other semi-final, setting up two exciting clashes in the battle for a place in the final.
