Mr Jacobs says, "Vasco Da Gama has progressed very impressively this season and have staged an exceptional performance away from home when they thrashed Bush Bucks 2-0 in the first round a fortnight ago. This intervention from government is an effort to ensure there was a good turnout of home crowd to cheer Vasco to victory when they lock horns with Bush Bucks in the second round, a match that has far reaching consequences for the prospects of Cape Town based professional teams. I am appealing to the soccer community of Cape Town in particular to come in their numbers to support Vasco. I also want to take this opportunity to wish them success in their quest for the PSL status."
