Orange FA Cup breathes to life

The second season of the tournament could not be completed as the 2019-2020 period was cancelled due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020. At the time, three rounds and seven matches remained to the P700,000 prize money. The environment is now suitable and the Orange FA Cup will resume from the quarterfinal stage this evening.

Jwaneng Galaxy welcome fellow Premier League side, Notwane at the Lobatse Sports Complex for the 8pm kick-off. This is the first ever meeting between the two teams in a cup competition. The Toronto Boys will go into the tie with a point to prove. In the three encounters between the pair, Sechaba has lost two and managed to play for a draw just once. Notwane’s current league form leaves a lot to be desired. The team is winless in two games and has only found the back of the net once while conceding six. Galaxy, on the other hand, has been one of the best-prepared teams having got an early pre-season due to their participation in the CAF Champions League. The team has won three, lost one and played to a draw once.
