Magesi FC, the newly promoted topflight outfit, continued their impressive run in the Carling Knockout Cup, defeating TS Galaxy 1-0 on Sunday.
The home side nearly went up when Dzenan Zajmovic pounced on failed clearance and wrapped his right foot nicely around the ball, but Magesi gloveman Elvis Chipezeze was equal to the task.
Mcberth Mahlangu then had a chance with a powerful header from a swerving cross, but he could only find the hands of Chipezeze.
Despite the Sead Ramovic coached outfit dominating the early proceedings, Magesi capitalized on a defensive error, with Lehlegonolo Mokone seizing the opportunity to score the decisive goal.
The Rockets pushed hard for an equalizer in the second half, with Mcberth Mahlangu coming close on several occasions. However, Magesi’s resolute defense and the heroics of goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze kept TS Galaxy at bay.
With this victory, Magesi advance to the semi-finals, where Clinton Larsen’s men will compete with Richards Bay.
