Delano Abrahams of University of Pretoria and Moroka Swallows were dumped out of the Nedbank Cup after late 2-1 loss to University of Pretoria on Wednesday evening. Coach Musa Nytama handed a recall to Ntsikelelo Nyauza in the Swallows defence, while Gregory Damons, Roland Sanou, Ntsikelelo Ngqonga and Augustine Mahlonoko were also brought back into the side after the big loss to Sekhukhune United over the weekend.
Both sides saw a bit of the ball in the opening exchanges but chances were hard to come by, with the final pass and shock lacking at both ends of the park. The first real opening at goal arrived after 20 minutes when the Damons did well to tee the ball up for Sanou, who unleashed a first-time strike that forced AmaTuks goalkeeper Edward Maova into a fine finger-tip save.
