GOAL gives you all the details to follow the Brazilians' cup fixture at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi against Abafana Bes'thende. The Pretoria club will need to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg if they are to put five years of heartbreak in the Wafa Wafa tournament behind them.
Abafana Bes'thende stand on the precipice of a historic cup final as they prepare to defend their slender lead against the Chloorkop-based outfit.
