Chippa United advanced to the Nedbank Cup last 16 with a 4-3 win on penalties against Free State Stars on Sunday afternoon.
Chippa named the big guns from the loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the DStv Premiership, as Andile Mbenyane skippered the side whilst Anthony Laffor made his first start.
Allan Freese’s men put a number of bodies behind the ball following the earlier exchanges, but Chippa still carved a look-in with a promising strike from Maloisane Mokhele sailing narrowly wide.
It started to open up albeit slightly closer to the half-hour mark after Danny Venter worked an angle from a decent area to bring goalkeeper Ayanda Mtshali to a save with a snap-shot.
