Coach Ernst Middendorp has decided to go with Bruce Bvuma in goal in the absence of Daniel Akpeyi for this afternoon’s Nedbank Cup Last 16 match against The Magic FC.

The Nigerian goalkeeper is cup-tied, as he already played for his previous side Chippa United in the Nedbank Cup.

Siphelele Ntshangase returns to the team, while Ryan Moon has also been handed a start. The lanky striker will partner Leonardo Castro up front.

Bernard Parker is the captain again, as both Itumeleng Khune (injured) and Willard Katsande (rested) didn’t travel with the team to Port Elizabeth.
