TS Galaxy played a well-orchestrated football game at Moses Mabhida Stadium yesterday, leaving AmaZulu fans in awe as they secured a 3-2 triumph and clinched a spot in the Carling Knockout Cup. The Rockets didn’t just break the deadlock; they shattered expectations and set the stage for a showdown against Stellenbosch on December 16th at the same iconic venue.
Lehlohonolo Mojela, the hero of the day for Galaxy, wasted no time in surprising everyone by netting in the first minute. A meticulously executed press and a clinical finish left AmaZulu stunned. Mpho Mvelase, the mastermind, initiated the move, playing a crafty through ball for Mojela, who showcased strength and precision.
The early setback jolted AmaZulu to life, and Pule Eksteim had a golden opportunity to level the scores in the 23rd minute. Unfortunately, his 1v1 chance was squandered, and Galaxy capitalized. A controversial penalty saw Higor Vidal calmly slotting it home, doubling the lead.
With a 2-0 deficit, AmaZulu made halftime changes, injecting fresh attacking energy. Chidi Kwem responded with a goal in the 76th minute, reigniting hope. Yet, Galaxy’s Samir Nurkovic had a different script, securing a goal in stoppage time, seemingly sealing AmaZulu’s fate. Although AmaZulu’s Dion managed a late second goal, it was insufficient, and they bid farewell to the competition. TS Galaxy, on the other hand, dances into the final, eyeing a chance to write their names in history, reminiscent of their 2019 Nedbank Cup triumph.
