The Cape side has been the surprise team in this year’s competition beating PSL side such as Polokwane City and AmaZulu on their way to the quarterfinal.  

Despite the good run former Ajax Cape Town and Mamelodi Sundowns players feel that Free State Star are more experience team but is confident his side are up for the challenge.

“Free State Star have been in the PSL for so many years and they have experience in this competition but I think the boys are very excited to play,” he told TalkDiski.  

“I think if we can put our mind to it than we could go far in this competition maybe reach the final.”

The National First Division side have impressed in front of goal in the Nedbank Cup, scoring six goals in the in previous games against Usuthu as well as Raise and Shine.

Cale feels that’s been the difference to their performance compare to the League where they find themselves second from bottom.

“From the start of the League we didn’t take our chances when it comes to scoring goals but I mean in the Nedbank Cup we have been scoring goals and that’s been our strength right now,” he said.
