Top 8 reaches crescendo
The second legs of the Standard Bank Top 8 semi-finals will take place at Sam Nujoma Stadium tomorrow.
The first match will kick off at
16: 00 between Black Africa (BA) and Tigers.
The second match will be between African Stars and Tura Magic at 19:00.
In the first leg, Katutura giants and reigning MTC Premiership champions Stars did enough to walk away with a 1-0 win against Magic through a goal by Panduleni Nekundi.
The goal was a good reward for Stars who entertained a packed Kuisebmund stadium with their enterprising play in the midfield.
The second semi-final first leg, current Namibia Premier League log leaders BA took on Tigers.
The tight encounter ended 0-0, leaving both teams with a lot to do in the second leg.
Football pundit Isack Hamata said tomorrow's matches will be tough for all the teams.
“It is a tough for me to predict a winner or who will go to the finals. Magic is still in the hunt but they need to at least score two goals. Also, with the BA and Tigers clash, things are also on a knife edge. The fact that they drew in the first leg makes the second leg very interesting,” he said.
The tournament is being sponsored by Standard Bank Namibia to the tune of N$9 million over three years. Disappointingly, Orlando Pirates, Mighty Gunners, Unam and Eleven Arrows were already sent packing at the quarterfinal stage.
At the end of the competition, the winners will walk away with N$500 000. The runners-up will get N$250 000 and the semi-final losers will take home N$125 000 each.
The outstanding player of the tournament will get N$15 000, the same as the top goal scorer and best coach, while the best goalkeeper and referee will pocket N$10 000 each, with the best-performing assistant referee taking home
N$5 000.
