Arsenal U19s reached the semi-finals of the Durban International Cup today as they prevailed past Golden Arrows with a 2-1 victory.

The young Gunners took the lead through the prodigious Reiss Nelson before their opponents drew level when Kristopher Da Graca scored an own goal.

However, Arsenal managed to secure victory courtesy of a strike from Savvas Mourgos and will now take their place in the semi-finals as they look to retain the trophy.

Arsenal fielded trialist goalkeeper Thom Jonkerman, who is part of the Nike Academy.

Arsenal: Jonkerman; Osei-Tutu, Da Graca, Pileas, T. Bola; McGuane, Sheaf; Nelson, Dragomir, DaSilva; Mavididi.
