Matta, Eagles to meet in Nedbank cup qualifier final after Gqeberha lose protest

ABC Motsepe League side Gqeberha United have lost their noncompliance protest case against the Mighty Eagles for fielding over-aged players in their Nedbank Cup preliminary round semifinal. Gqeberha accused the Eagles of breaching the tournament’s U23s rule, saying their opponents had nine over-aged players in their match in Mthatha three weeks ago.
