Cape Town City failed to join the likes of Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in the Telkom Knockout quarter-finals after succumbing to a 2-0 loss to AmaZulu.

Second half goals from Emiliano Tade and Bongi Ntuli piled on the misery on the Citizens, who are yet to taste victory since winning the 2018 MTN8 title after defeating SuperSport United in the final.

McCarthy’s side have the opportunity to make amends for their loss when they face the same Usuthu side in an Absa Premiership encounter at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday night.
