Doornkop Students beat Makgaola Academy 1-0 in the 2nd leg of the Philly’s games at the Phomolong sports ground in Tembisa on Tuesday, but that wasn’t enough to move on to the next round.
The Limpopo side had won the 1st leg 2-0, which meant the Students needed to win by three clear goals, but unfortunately it wasn’t their day.
Isithembiso continued where they left off in the 1st leg as they beat Phanda Phanda 3-1 to run away 6-2 winners on aggregate and move on to the last eight.
The biggest talking point of the game was when Isithembiso's players all fell to the ground like dominoes to allow their opponents to take the ball and score.
The move left social media abuzz with mixed feeling’s; some found it funny, some had never seen something like that before, while others called it an insult to football….
