Nathaniel MG Cup: Swansea beat Cardiff on penalties, Bala bow out

Maliq Cadogan (L) celebrates after scoring for Swansea City

Swansea City U21s went some way towards avenging the senior side's south Wales derby defeat with a penalty shoot-out win over Cardiff City U21s in the Nathaniel MG Cup third round.

Maliq Cadogan gave the hosts the lead before Cardiff's Kyle Henniford was sent-off for a second yellow card.

Kieran Evans equalised and with the score level at 1-1 after 90 minutes, Swansea won 5-3 on penalties.

Cymru North Guilsfield knocked out holders Bala Town in the night's shock.

Joe Haycock's second half goal earned Guilsfield victory.

Cymru Premier leaders The New Saints were 4-1 winners over Porthmadog, who had beaten Caernarfon in the previous round.

Josh Daniels gave Saints a fifth minute lead before Shaun Cavanagh levelled for Port four minutes later.

But goals from Ben Clark, Gwion Dafydd and Adrian Cieślewicz's stoppage time penalty saw the nine-times winners advance.

Tom Vincent scored a hat-trick as 2019 winners Cardiff Met won 4-0 at Afan Lido and Jack Karadogan's stoppage time winner saw Pontypridd United win at Aberystwyth.

Gresford won 1-0 at Cymru North rivals Buckley Town while Briton Ferry Llansawel won 1-0 at Ammanford.
