Stellenbosch FC secured a decisive 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League Next Gen Cup 2024 final, marking a significant redemption for the South African team.

Early Goals Propel Stellenbosch to Victory

The match saw Stellenbosch take control early on, with Shaakir Ahmed and Kyle Bailey scoring in the first half. Ahmed, who previously scored the winning goal against Crystal Palace during the group stages, broke the deadlock in the 19th minute with a clinical finish. Bailey doubled the lead with a clever flick just before halftime, cementing Stellenbosch’s lead and their path to victory.

Following the match, Ahmed expressed the significance of performing in high-stakes situations. “Big players are for big moments,” he said, highlighting his commitment to delivering under pressure, particularly against Premier League sides.

This victory not only secures Stellenbosch FC’s second title in three years but also signifies their successful bounce back after last year’s disappointing loss.
