Nedbank Cup: TS Sporting sweat to reach Last eight, Real Kings edge Mbombela United

TS Sporting survived a scare to proceed to the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals following a 4-3 extra-time win over hosts Happy Wanderers at Princes Magogo Stadium on Saturday.

Substitute Kamohelo Sithole saved the day for TS sporting with a brace, including a last-gasp winner from the penalty spot to prevent the match from reaching the lottery shootout.

Three penalties characterised the afternoon at Princess Magogo where stubborn ABC Motsepe League hosts Happy Wanderers launched a spirited and late comeback in regulation time which saw the match spill into extra-time.

TS Sporting had to defy some numerical disadvantage after former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs defender Sibusiso Khumalo was red-carded in the decisive extra-time.
