Stellenbosch FC warmed up for the MTN8 final with a 1-1 draw against Polokwane City in their Premiership clash at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday evening.
Both goals were scored in the first half, and the outcome leaves Polokwane in fifth place in the standings. Stellenbosch are eighth.
With an eye on Saturdays decider against Orlando Pirates at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, Stellenbosch rested three key players.
There were let-offs for both teams in a frantic opening three minutes.
Unmarked Stellenbosch midfielder Andre de Jong failed to pounce after a corner bounced tantalisingly close to the Polokwane post in the second minute.
