Enjoying his game at Baroka: Mbulu

Galaxy levelled inside the last 10 minutes from Sipho Maluleke’s own goal after he headed into his own net for the match to go into post-match penalties in a match monitored on SuperSport.

Mbulu came on for Dan Ndlovu in a tactical move and stepped up to take the decisive penalty after extra-time ended 1-1.

Baroka converted all their spot-kicks while Sihle Nduli ballooned Galaxy’s second spot-kick over the crossbar.

The Flames forward said he was calm and composed when taking the decisive spot-kick to take Baroka into the cup’s last eight.

He said: “I just had to believe in myself and went for it. I am happy for my team.”

Mbulu also scored a stunner with the last kick of the game to earn his side a 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium a week ago.,

The goal is expected to go down as goal of the season contenders.
