The Pretoria side have continued with their good run in the CAF Confederation Cup despite other cup commitments.
Matsatsantsa drew 1-1 with Liberian side Barrack Young Controllers in the third qualifying round at the Antonitte Tubman stadium, Liberia on Sunday with Fagrie Lakay scoring his side’s away goal but Controllers soon took control of proceedings and equalised on the half hour mark.
They nearly took the lead later, but United keeper Ronwam Williams pulled a sublime save to keep the scores level into half time.
Despite both teams searching for the winner in the second half, neither was on target.

A draw in the first leg means Matsatsantsa will need a goalless draw or a win to progress to the group stages of the Caf Confederation scheduled to start in June.
And Stuart Baxter’s men are still in the title race the Absa Premiership and booked a quarter final berth of the Nedbank Cup last week.
