Mngqithi shrugs off 'favourites' tag

With defending champions Stellenbosch FC also sent packing by Marumo Gallants, Sundowns will be expected to go all the way.

The Brazilians will play Gallants in the semifinals, while surprise package Magesi FC take on Richards Bay to determine who will contest the final at the Free State Stadium on 23 November.

Shortly after his side thrashed 10-man Amakhosi 4-0 at FNB Stadium to reach the last-four, Mngqithi cautioned against getting too excited, with a place in the final up for grabs.
