It finished 1-1 at the end of extra time also, with Stellies then going on to win the penalty shootout 4-3 to make the last 16.
Coach Steve Barker’s men are the only Cape PSL side still involved in the competition, with both Cape Town City and Cape Town Spurs being KO’d last week.
PSL league action returns this week, with Stellies hosting Chippa United on Friday, City hosting SuperSport United on Wednesday and Spurs continuing their fight for survival against TS Galaxy on Sunday.
