Stellenbosch secures a convincing 2-0 victory over Polokwane City in the Nedbank Cup, advancing to the quarterfinals. Devin Titus scores the second goal, and Bulelani Nikani's own goal sets the tone for the match.
Stellenbosch secured their spot in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals with a commanding 2-0 victory over fellow Betway Premiership team Polokwane City at the Danie Craven Stadium on Thursday night. The Maroons took an early lead in the 13th minute thanks to an own goal by Bulelani Nikani, who inadvertently directed the ball past his own goalkeeper. Devin Titus doubled Stellenbosch 's advantage eight minutes before halftime, capitalizing on a pass from Khomotjo Lekoloane.
Rise And Shine struggled to find their footing in the match and were unable to mount a serious challenge against the determined Stellenbosch side. Lesiba Nku, who made his first start for Stellenbosch after joining from Mamelodi Sundowns in January, played a key role in the midfield. Despite a potential goal from Titus being denied by a sharp save from Manuel Sapunga, Stellenbosch continued to press forward and ultimately secured their victory. While Polokwane City were thwarted in their cup journey, falling at the second hurdle for the second consecutive year, Stellenbosch marched on to the quarterfinals for the third year in a row. The match saw several substitutions for both teams, with players looking to make an impact and secure their place in the next round of the competition.
