The Super League Cup saw Luso Africa Football Club take on Randburg Football Club in the quarter-finals at Hattingh Park, last Saturday.<\/p>\n

In what was anticipated to be a very tight match, Luso looked to take control of the game early on and certainly seemed the better of the two teams.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Luso were strong in defence, allowing very little space to the opposition and always looked like they could score when they went forward.<\/p>\n

In a half with few chances and lots of energy, the teams went into half-time at 0-0.<\/p>

The second half saw the same from Luso, dominating possession and displaying some impressive passes to keep Randburg out of the game.<\/p>\n

The Randburg \u2019keeper was forced into making a few good saves and Paul Raposa did the same for Luso at the other end.<\/p>\n

Luso failed to take the lead and the game went into extra time.<\/p>\n

During extra time it could be seen that the legs were getting tired and neither team really looked like they were going to snatch the victory.<\/p>\n

A penalty shoot-out was to decide the match – Marco Cabeleira and Michael Edwards scored for Luso but it wasn\u2019t to be as Luso lost 4-2 on penalties.<\/p>\n

Luso travels to Randburg on Saturday in the league, where they will be hoping for a win.<\/p>\n
