Downs stay in Carling KO hunt

SEMIFINAL: SET UP UNLIKELY DECIDER AGAINST MAGESI

- Katlego Modiba

Mamelodi Sundowns beat Marumo Gallants 2-0 in the Carling Knockout semifinal clash at Dr Molemela Stadium yesterday afternoon. Man-of-the-Match Lucas Ribeiro scored from a spot kick before Neo Maema sealed the victory late in the game as the Brazilians set up an unlikely final against Betway Premiership rookies Magesi FC on 23 November.

Ribeiro's goal came after Lebogang Mabotja gave away a penalty five minutes after the break. The Gallants defender had his outstretched hand in an unnatural position to stop a cross by Peter Shalulile.
