Kabwe gave Sekhukhune the lead on 13 minutes with a left-footed shot in
the box as early pressure paid off. Daniel Cardoso doubled their lead ten
minutes before the interval with a header from a cross by Letsoalo.
The visitors continued to put Liver Bros under pressure in a high
intensity game but could not get clear opportunities as they took a
comfortable 2-0 lead to the halftime break.
The game took a decisive turn early in the second stanza after Liver Bros
were reduced to ten men following the red-card of Tonny Khosa, who also
conceded a penalty, which Chibuike Ohizu converted to extend the lead.
Sekhukhune strengthened the team with experienced fresh legs after the
hour-mark, as Linda Mntambo, Tashreeq Morris and Kamohelo Mokotjo entered
the park. Mncube made it 4-0 with a strike in the box after he was setup
by Morris.
Mncube quickly made it 5-0 for Sekhukhune five minutes later and grabbed
his brace from a similar situation after he was teed up by Tshepo Mokhabi.
Morris rounded off the thrashing in stoppage time with a high shot in the
box after combining with Mntambo and the Limpopo side comfortably booked
their spot in the last 16.
