Eighth edition of coveted Selati Cup underway

Only 124 teams from the initial total remain and still have their hopes set on lifting the coveted cup. Despite providing the opening goal in the first two minutes and dominating the first half of the game, Steenbok West Germany were unable to conquer the cubs of Langeloop Young
Tigers.
After having levelled matters with a goal before the half-time mark,
Langeloop Young Tigers midfielder, Patcos Ngomane scored a brace to secure his team’s spot in the last 64 with a 2-1 victory over Steenbok West Germany. The second game between Mangweni Chelsea and Magogeni Spoilers, ended as a stalemate, with both teams registering one goal each.
Mangweni Chelsea went into the half-time break chasing the game, minutes after the second half got underway, Sicelo Ngwenya found the equaliser, which was enough to take the game to be decided on penalties, where Chelsea spoilt Magogeni Spoilers Selati Cup run with a 4-2 win on penalties.
In the third game of the day, it took less than 30 seconds for the opening goal of the highly anticipated match of the day, where Mzinti Young Waves took on Mtata Peace Maker. Mtata Peace Maker extended their lead before the teams went into the half-time break, only for them to pick
up were they had left off when the second half started.
Mzinti Young Waves were able to pull one back and narrow the lead to two goals, only for Mtata Peace Makers to respond by reinstating their three goals lead, bringing the scoreline to 4-1.
Two minutes after Mtata Peace Maker’s goal, Mzinti Young Waves were awarded a penalty after its player was brought down in the box, Gugu Ngwenya’s shot rattled the back of the net to once more reduce Peace Maker’s lead to two.
Ten minutes after Young Waves’ goal, Peace Maker’s captain scored his second goal to ensure they won the game by a three-goal margin, the
game ended 5-2 in favour of Mtata Peace Maker.
