With this win, Gallants will face either the recently-crowned DStv Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns or Royal AM, who'll meet in the second semi-final ...

But they failed to instantly turn possession into a goal after Tshego Gumede headed Celimpilo Ngema’s corner-kick wide off the far-post. But given the magnitude of Friday’s tie, perhaps the instructions were tweaked a bit: get the man and the ball. But the clearest scoring chances belonged to Nelukau’s soldiers, who were waiting on Gallants before coming out with counter-outs. Perhaps, it was that the two teams claimed to be defending champions of the competition that made this game a sought-after-contest. Maselela has a bit of history with the competition. The tempo of the game decreased in the second half, allowing Gallants to see more of the ball.

A deflected goal by Thato Khiba in the second half was enough to earn Marumo Gallants a 1-0 win over Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.

The first half was rather a dull affair with the teams failing to create many goal scoring opportunities. Tshepo Gumede came close to giving Bahlabane Ba Ntwa the lead in the 61st minute with a header, but it went narrowly over the crossbar. Rhulani Manzini came close to putting TTM in the lead at the stroke of half-time, but his well-taken free kick hit the crossbar with the goalkeeper well-beaten.

Lamola, 14. Manaka, 14. R. Baloyi, 11. G. Baloyi, 25. Manzini had a chance to snatch a stoppage time equaliser for TTM with a free-kick from the edge of the box but his effort was blocked, as Gallants held on to book a spot in the final. The Premiership outfit were forced to retreat in the latter phase of the first stanza and Manzini came the closest to breaking the deadlock for Tshakhuma on the stroke of halftime with a dipping diagonal free-kick that rattled the crossbar. Gallants were free flowing going forward in the early stages of the second stanza and Gumede came close to breaking the deadlock on the hour-mark with a glancing header from Celimpilo Ngema's cross that sailed slightly over the crossbar. Subs: 36. Gallants midfielder Katlego Otladisa made way for Sibusiso Kumalo with nine minutes left on the clock, but the former was given a red card after he was taken off for something he said to the referee. Subs: 36. Bahlabane Ba Ntwa were not given time and space on the ball in the early stages and they had a casualty in the 17th minute after Dion did not recover from a lunging tackle and he was replaced by Lerato Lamola. Dan Malesela's charges were not discouraged, as Joseph Malongoane had a chance to break the deadlock four minutes later but dragged his volley unmarked in the box wide.

Gallants will now have to do without their influential and skilful Katlego Otladisa in their next two outings after he was red carded for an off-field incident with TTM player just after being substituted. Gallants came back in the second half with a bit of improvement especially in their attack. If there was a team that should have gone to the break in front it was TTM as they came close to scoring three times through experienced campaigner Rulani Manzini.
