Bafana keeper Goss helps United advance to Nedbank Cup Last16 round

SuperSport United and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Ricardo Goss displayed some impressive performances in a Cup match against Cape Town City last night.

The Nedbank Cup Last32 match was held at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville on Tuesday.

Matsatsantsa went into the Nedbank Cup match depleted as some of their key team members are not available for selection due to injuries and suspensions.

SuperSport netted in the 20th minute of the game through young Shandre Campbell’s brilliant finish after receiving a superb delivery from winger Lyle Lakay on the left.

The 2023 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations bronze medalist pulled some superb saves as visitors City gave him a hard time on set-pieces.

However, City managed to level matters few seconds before the interval after a disappointing miscommunication at United’s back four.

The final score was 1-1 at regulation time and the match had to go into extra-time.

Both sides created some more scoring chances but gradually ran out of steam towards the end of extra time.

The final score remained 1-all as the match had to be decided on penalties.

Goss was the hero of the night as he managed to save three spot-kicks and won Man of the Match award as Matsatsantsa advanced to the Last16 round of the Nedbank Cup.
