Johannesburg - "One special kick decided it," said Maritzburg United coach Steve Komphela after his team went down 2-1 to Black Aces as the last 32 round of the Nedbank Cup got underway at the Mbombela Stadium on Wednesday night.
"That free-kick from Lehlohnlo Nonyane from just outside the penalty area in the 20th minute that opened the score for Aces was quite amazing for its precision and was ultimately the difference between the two teams," said the Maritzburg coach.
"Ironically we had two or three similar free-kick chances from outside the area, but we were not able to produce the magic.
