- Ngema grabbed the winning goal
- Bahlabane Ba Ntwa won the tie 2-1 on aggregate
- Gallants are set to lock horns with Maritzburg
WHAT HAPPENED?: Bahlabane Ba Ntwa secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory in a quarter-final second-leg clash played at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg.
The only goal of the match was netted by Celimpilo Ngema who hit the back of the net in the 39th minute to hand Gallants the lead after the Egyptian big spenders' poor marking at the back was exposed.
Gallants were then firm at the back as they frustrated Bafana Bafana winger Fagrie Lakay and his Pyramids teammates until Gabonese match referee Pierre Atcho blew the final whistle.
