Woeful defending by Baroka FC saw two own goals threaten their Nedbank Cup survival in their Round of 16 match against Hungry Lions, but a penalty shootout victory saw them into the quarter-finals after a 2-2 draw at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
That a Premier Soccer League team was facing an ABC Motsepe side did not show as Hungry Lions’ appetite troubled Baroka who eventually won 4-2 on penalties.
Hungry Lions went ahead when Sbonelo Ngubane beat his own goalkeeper Ayanda Dlamini in the 35th minute.
But Baroka came back stronger from the break, equalising through Evidence Makgopa three minutes into the second half.
