Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Orapa United have proceeded to the next round of Orange FA Cup after winning 4-1 against Jwaneng Galaxy on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The game, which finished in a goalless draw at regulation time, was decided on penalties.<\/p>\n

Orapa United\u2019s goal minder, Lesenya Malapela, rose to the occasion to book his team a spot in the semi-finals after saving three spot kicks while his team converted four with ease.<\/p>\n

Although Orapa, alias Ostriches, had the better part of possession especially in the first half, they were unsuccessful as they could not pull the strings in the final half.<\/p>\n

Unlike in their previous encounter when they booted the Peleng giants out, they played well with high tactical discipline.<\/p>\n

Galaxy\u2019s goalkeeper, Karabo Gaolebale, had a busy day as he had to save quite a number of shots from the opposing side.<\/p>\n

Marcell Papama and Benson Mangolo tried in vain to catch the Ostriches on the counter as team mates were too slow on transition, giving the opponents enough time and space to re-group.<\/p>\n

In the second half, Galaxy showed a bit of character, but could not create enough chances to trouble Malapela.<\/p>\n
