Unam and KK Palace will contest the NFA Cup final after both won close semifinal encounters on Saturday.
The match between KK Palace and Mighty Gunners went down to the wire, and had to be determined on penalties after a goalless 90 minutes and a further 30 minutes of extra time.
In a fast-paced match, both teams had their fair share of scoring chances with Kalaluka Kalumbwekwa and Bongani Tsowaseb sharp in KK’s attack, while at the other end Barnand Horaseb, Isedni Tsuseb and Mutani Kariseb all came close to scoring. Neither team, however, could break the deadlock and the match had to be decided on penalties with KK Palace winning 5-3 after a save by their goalie to book their place in the final.
The other semifinal was also a close affair with Unam taking the lead after 15 minutes when Eduardo Namib slammed home a rebound from a corner.
Okahandja United, however, attacked relentlessly after the break with Stoffel Witbeen and Chris-Marco Haoseb creating all sorts of problems in Unam’s defence, but somehow they managed to keep Okahandja at bay to hold on for a narrow win. Unam coach Robert Nauseb was a relieved man after the match, saying that they did not deserve to win.
