Kaizer Chiefs qualified to the next round of the Carling Knockout Cup after a convincing 4-0 victory against SuperSport United at the Peter Mokakba Stadium.
Amakhosi dominated for majority of the contest and fully deserved the win that will now them into the quarterfinals of the tournament.
The Soweto giants opened the scoring just after the half hour mark when Gaston Sirino found the back of the net after a pass from Mduduzi Shabalala.
Chiefs were 2-0 ahead seven minutes after the halftime interval when Sirino’s pin-point corner found the head of captain Yusuf Maart who beat goalkeeper Ricardo Goss.
Ranga Chivaviro then added his name to the score sheet after squandering a few opportunities, the forward showing good composure before applying his finish.
The night got worse for Gavin Hunt’s charges when they were reduced to 10 men with 10 minutes remaining as Gape Moralo received his marching orders after picking up a second yellow card.
Chiefs then put the icing on the cake in injury-time when substitute Edson Castillo produced a brilliant through ball to set up Ashley du Preez to make it 4-0.
Amakhosi will be thrilled to reach the last-eight of the Carling Knockout and join heavyweights Mamelodi Sundowns in the next round while Orlando Pirates will not be there after falling to shock defeat against Magesi.
