Free State Stars faced elimination by Kaizer Chiefs in the quarter-finals of the Telkom Cup last Sunday. Despite the defeat, Togolese players Ouro Akoriko Sadat and Abraw Camaldine delivered notable performances.
Ouro Akoriko Sadat: The Togolese international defender scored the only goal for Free State Stars in the 71st minute of the match.
Abraw Camaldine: Abraw, another Togolese player and teammate of Sadat, was named the man of the match. The former Châteauroux player showcased his physicality and created difficulties for the opposing defense with his deep ball calls.
Despite their efforts, Free State Stars lost to Kaizer Chiefs in a penalty shootout after regulation time ended with a 1-1 draw. Kaizer Chiefs, Platinum Stars, and Supersport United have advanced to the semi-finals, and the last ticket will be contested between Orlando Pirates and Golden Arrows.
