Vasco da Gama will play City Lads in the Sasol League National Championship final on Sunday at King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.

The Western Cape side beat Croesus Ladies from Johannesburg 4-3 in the second semifinal on Friday on penalties after the match finished 1-1.

By progressing to the final, both Vasco da Gama and City Lads from Eastern Cape have also qualified for the Hollywoodbets Super League.

The added incentive is that a winner of the final will walk away with R200 000 cash while the runners-up will take home R100 000.

It was a deserved victory for Vasco da Gama as they showed the hunger to win throughout the match.

They opened the scoring match 12 minutes into the game through Miche Minnies before Croesus drew level before the half-hour mark through Lerato Makhanya’s pot kick.

Both could not be separated after regulation time and penalties were needed to decide the semifinal.

Meanwhile earlier today, City Lads beat Lindelani Ladies from KwaZulu-Natal 3-2 in the first semifinal to set up a final match against Vasco da Gama.

Nandipha Booi opened the scoring for City Lads four-six minutes before the interval to give her side a 1-0 lead and completed a brace 10 minutes in the second half from a spot-kick to take her tally in this tournament to three goals.

Nomfudo Xulu pulled one back for Lindelani Ladies midway through the second half after putting City Lads under siege before Zethembiso Vilakazi equalised towards the end.

With a semifinal looking like it was heading to extra time, Booi completed her hattrick in the last kick of the match to help City Lads to a 3-2 win in a thrilling encounter and book them a place in the Super League next season.
