Maritzburg knock Aces out cup
The Team of Choice scored goals through Kurt Lentjies and Terrence Mandaza, while Black Aces found the back of the net via Ofentse Nato.
Sandile Zuke received his marching orders midway through the second half, a needless red card that made like more difficult for his teammates.
Maritzburg hit the front when referee Victor Gomes gave a generous penalty award to Kurt Lentjies after he was adjudged to have been fouled by Method Mwanjale, though replays showed there was minimal contact. Lentjies stepped up to convert the spot-kick himself.
The visitors leveled just before halftime when Nato scooped the ball home from Mbulelo Mabizela’s pass.
Zuke then lashed out and struck Maritzburg winger Frank Sarfo Gyamfi and received his marching orders, as he had done in the league meeting between the two sides at the same venue earlier in the season.
It looked as though the game would be headed for penalties though until a disastrous mix-up at the back for Black Aces gifted Maritzburg their second.
Mabizela headed the ball away from his goalkeeper and when Abel Mabaso failed to clear, Mandaza had the simple job of tapping into an empty net.
