Andre Petim, the Ajax Cape Town goalkeeper, secured a place for his side in the next round of the Telkom Cup knockout competition by saving two penalities against the Golden Arrows at Greenpoint Stadium on Wednesday night.
Ajax won 4-2 on penalties when the game was forced into extra time after the first 90 minutes ended goalless.
Arrows striker Alton Meiring broke the deadlock when he scored with a fine header midway through the first period of extra time.
When it looked like the Durban side were home safely, Mkhanyiseli Siwahla, who mesmerised the opposition with his skills, scored the equaliser with a low drive through a forest of legs with two minutes to go. The score remained at 1-1 at the end of extra time.
In the penalty shoot-out Petim ruled, saving two of the five penalties and giving his side a 4-2 victory. – Sapa
