Thabang Monare was set through on goal by Ndah but skewed his shot to the left, while Dzvukamanja was unable to beat Ncamiso Dlamini with a 69th minute header following a super ball into the box from Kabelo Dlamini. Dzvukamanja had been brought on at half-time to replace Peprah, and was close to a second for Pirates on 54 minutes with a shot that was inches from finding its intended target, after he was played in by Hotto. Olisa Ndah had a couple of chances to nod his side in the lead but when the opening goal did finally arrive, it was through a superb hit from Makaringe from a very wide position that deceived Dlamini and ended up in the back of the net.
