Sheya Andimba

Orlando Pirates beat Eleven Arrows 3-2 on penalties to win the Cell One NFA Cup on Saturday evening.
After a goalless first half, Arrows took the lead on 47m when Rudolph Bester stabbed in a loose ball. Pirates however drew level through a cracking volley by John Samson on 64m to send the match into extra time.

Neither team could break the deadlock in extra time, although Arrows wasted some great chances, notably through Edward Damaseb and Freedom Puriza and the match had to be decided on penalties.
