Stellenbosch FC left it late on Sunday 8 November. Sinoxolo Kwayiba converted a penalty deep into stoppage time to beat AmaZulu two-one in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final, according to [the Premier Soccer League's match report](https://www.psl.co.za/news/article/5616584-stellies-sinks-amazulu-to-storm-into?ref=shibobo.news).

Both sides missed big chances early on, according to [the club's report](https://www.stellenboschfc.com/media/view/2026/11/08/stellies-snatch-last-gasp-win-to-advance-to-cko-semis/?ref=shibobo.news). Kwayiba spurned one for Stellenbosch, and Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya did the same for AmaZulu.

Chumani Butsaka then put Stellenbosch ahead in the 28th minute. Raoul Daniels assisted, and it was Butsaka's first goal of the campaign, the league said. The club described it as a volley.

AmaZulu levelled in the 33rd minute. The league records it as an own goal by Gopolang Taunyana, and it was one-all at half-time.

Then the drama. Luthando Vena won the ball and found Kwayiba, and Taariq Fielies blocked the shot. The referee ruled it came off Fielies' hand and pointed to the spot, according to the club's report.

Kwayiba, a former Orlando Pirates forward, stepped up himself and scored. Hayibo. The club's report puts the winner in the 97th minute at Danie Craven Stadium. The league says it was his third goal of the tournament.

The defeat ended AmaZulu's six-match winning streak and their hope of ending a 34-year trophy drought, the league said.

Stellenbosch, who beat Durban City in the Round of 16, will host Orlando Pirates in the semi-final. Dates and venues are still to be confirmed by the Premier Soccer League.

Coach Gavin Hunt's Stellenbosch next host TS Galaxy in the league on 27 November. Coach Arthur Zwane's AmaZulu face Milford FC in a KwaZulu-Natal derby on 28 November.

Our take: one refereeing call in the last seconds decided a tight tie, and Kwayiba made it count.
