Mamelodi Sundowns vs Summerfield Dynamos

The team, which competes in the ABC Motsepe League, beat fellow ABC Motsepe League side, Black Eagles in the round of 16. Ironically, coach Clinton Larsen, mentioned that the last team he wanted to face next was Mamelodi Sundowns.

Nedbank Cup match report: Royal AM edges Swallows Football Club in a tight encounter in Soweto

Royal AM are through to the quarterfinals of the 2022 Nedbank Cup. This is after they had to fight off Swallows Football Club in a 1-0 win at the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto. The strike came from a well-worked goal by Kabelo Mahlasela in the 79th minute of the match.

Swallows FC should have had a goal but missed a golden chance. Captain, Lebogang Mokoena, missed a straightforward penalty with one of the worst penalty misses seen this season thus far, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The encounter was a tight one with little to separate both teams throughout. Chances were at a premium, though both teams could not be faulted for showing enterprise in their quest for the trophy.
