Golden Arrows 3-0 Orbit College

Golden Arrows recorded a convincing 3-0 victory over Orbit College on Sunday to progress to the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup.

The game at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium started on Saturday but was abandoned due to the weather.

Arrows were leading 1-0 thanks to a Lungelo Nguse goal but the match was restarted on Sunday.

After a positive start, Arrows again took the lead this time through Amgelo van Rooi on 24 minutes before Junior Dion added a quick-fire second just nine minutes later.

Ayabulela Maxwele then sealed the result with goal after 79 minutes.

TS Galaxy 1-0 Marumo Gallants

TS Galaxy advanced to the last 16 of the famous cup competition with a hard-fought 1-0 extra-time win over Marumo Gallants at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium.

There was no separating the two teams during regulation time but Mlungisi Mbunjana came close for Galaxy before Emmanuel Mwiinde blazed over with only goalkeeper Ira Tape to beat.

Mwiinde then tried an overhead volley but Tape made a comfortable save while Jaisen Clifford was guilty of a missed chance at the other end.

Romaric Ouattara should have converted late on as Mahlambi smashed his effort against the crossbar but experienced campaigner Victor Letsoalo made no mistake with a superb diving header to win the game in the 104th minute and seal his side's place in the next round.

Siwelele 3-3 (2-3) Richards Bay

Richards Bay secured their place in the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup with a 4-3 penalty shootout victory over Siwelele on Sunday.

After playing out a 1-1 draw in regulation time at the Dr Molemela Stadium, the two sides couldn't be separated in extra-time despite a flurry of goals as the match ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw.

Siwelele took the lead after 20 minutes through Grant Margerman but Richards Bay were on level terms when Sbangani Zulu slotted home a brilliant pass from Sbani Khumalo.

The Natal Rich Boys were in front on 92 minutes through Lundi Mahala and were 3-1 five minutes later up when Mahala bagged his second of the night, but were pegged back on the 100 minute mark and back on level terms when they conceded again after 108 minutes.

The shootout was no less exciting as both teams scored three of their five penalties before sudden death where Ian Otieno netted the decisive kick.
