They relied on an own goal and yet another penalty to achieve it, but Kaizer Chiefs ultimately did shade the contest too as they ran out 2-1 extra-time winners against Royal AM on Sunday night to reach the Nedbank Cup semifinals.
First-half substitute Samuel Manganyi headed Royal ahead in the 27th minute of the quarterfinal at a packed Chatsworth Stadium. Thabo Matlaba’s own goal in the 36th levelled matters.
Substitute Mduduzi Shabalala earned the extra-time penalty — Chiefs’ 12th of the season in all competitions — from which Yusuf Maart scored the 102nd-minute winner. Royal suffered an injury blow when centreback Happy Jele had to be replaced by Manganyi in the 22nd minute. But the substitute soon made his presence felt.
