Nodada’s instrumental performance earns him the award

Cape Town City FC’s first half goal was enough to book their spot in the MTN8 Semi-Final with a 1-0 victory over hosts Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium, on Sunday.

The Citizen’s showed their strength in pressing the Team of Choice and never allowed the home side an opportunity to do what they do best, which is building from the back. Nodada’s individual performance was influential in the middle of the park and kept his opponent frustrated for much of the match, which was to no surprise that he would be awarded the MTN 8 Man of the Match award.

“It was very difficult. Maritzburg runs a lot and they never give up. With them coming from two losses and us also from a loss was going to be a difficult game for both sides,” Nodada told SuperSport TV.

“I want to thank everyone here in Pietermaritzburg who came out to support Cape Town City and especially my family who are sitting right there [in the stands] thank you very much,” he concluded.

Cape Town City will host Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN 8 Semi-Final First Leg on either the 25^th or 26^th August 2018. The match details are yet to be confirmed by the Premier Soccer League.
