NEDBANK CUP FIXTURE TONIGHT
The last 16 round kicked off on Wednesday night. Motsepe Foundation Championship side AmaTuks shocked DStv Premiership side Moroka Swallows 2-1.
The game was played at the AmaTuks Stadium in Tshwane. Tebogo Mohlamonyane grabbed the opener for AmaTuks in the 58th minute, Swallows equalised through Lwanda Mbanjwa on 79 minutes, before Thabang Sibanyoni snatched the winner in injury time after the 90th minute.
“Credit to the boys. It wasn’t easy because Swallows are a good team with many experienced players. The boys showed resilience even when we conceded, they never panicked because they knew that we would score the winner any moment,” the AmaTuks’ winning coach Tlisane Motaung told Sowetan after winning the Nedbank Cup fixture.
The losing coach, Musa Nyatama, said his frontline simply did not show up.
“Our front three were flat today, to be honest with you. We didn’t create enough scoring opportunities. Letsie and Jacobs were flat today. It’s one of those games, but we will soldier on and focus on the league,” Nyatama said.
Moving on to this evening’s Nedbank Cup lone fixture, Sekhukhune United will host AmaZulu FC in Polokwane. Kick-off is 19:00 from the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
“There is a lot of work that we still need to do,” Sekhukhune coach Lehlohonolo Seema said after beating Moroka Swallows 4-1 in the league last weekend.
“We can’t say we are flying high, never. We need to fight, and we are looking forward to the next game,” Seema added.
“We’re trying to improve what we did in the first half of the season but the improvements are just coming from the technical staff and the players themselves,” AmaZulu coach Pablo Franco said via Usuthu’s website before the Nedbank Cup fixture.
“This is a matter of responsibility and we have to share the responsibility. We need to do better, we can do better. We need to keep growing, that’s for sure,” Franco added.
