  • National First Division side TTM stuck to their promise of upsetting Premier Soccer League team SuperSport
  • The Limpopo side pulled off one of the great Nedbank Cup comebacks, coming back from two goals down to win the match 3-2 in extra time
  • In the process, Tumie Ngwepe scored one of the goals of the year to start the home team's fightback in Thohoyandou

TTM kept hope alive of winning the Nedbank with a courageous and sensational come from behind victory against SuperSport United in Thohoyandou, Limpopo.

Jesse Donn and Gampani Lungi put the visitors into a comfortable 2-0 lead, before Tumi Ngwepe, Naeem Amoojee and Tumelo Makha struck back for the home side, completing an unlikely National First Division giant-killing of a Premier Soccer League Team.

TTM very confident of upsetting Supersport United in Nedbank Cup quarterfinal in Thohoyandou

TTM striker Rhulani Manzini is remarkably confident about their chances of upsetting SuperSport United in the first Nedbank Cup quarterfinal tonight.

As reported by Sports Brief, the match will take place tonight at the traditionally intimidating Thohoyandou Stadium, and with fans now allowed back into stadiums, should see a buzzing atmosphere.

It is an intriguing battle between GladAfrica Championship side TTM and a depleted SuperSport, who are short on attacking options.
