Bucs now move to the last 16 of the competition. Cape Town City got their first defeat of the year by loosing 1-0 to Acornbush. This is a shock defeat that came out of nowhere but Acornbush was out to punish the Cape Town side and they did just that.

The KZN derby in the Nedbank cup saw Golden Arrows punish Maritzburg United 3-1. The game was said to be a revenge game for Maritzburg who lost to Arrows in the league last week but Arrows came out to be the better side. Mbombela United won 5-2 against Days FC, in a seven goal thriller.
