Stellenbosch Determined To Make History

Only a complete meltdown will deny RS Berkane a second consecutive CAF Confederation Cup final appearance and debutants Stellenbosch will be looking to join them.

Stellenbosch will be hoping to keep the fairytale alive when they host Simba in the second leg of their semi-final tie at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Sunday, April 27.

The Maroons, who are featuring in the competition for the first time in their history, caused a major upset in the quarter-finals when they eliminated defending champions Zamalek 1-0 on aggregate.

Steve Barkers side have some work to do though, after losing 1-0 in the first leg in Zanzibar on April 20. However, their home form is good, having only lost one of their six matches in South Africa and failing to score just once.

The Msimbazi Reds needed penalties to overcome Al Masry in the last eight after the tie finished 2-2 on aggregate, with both teams winning 2-0 on home soil.
