Stellenbosch looked the team more likely to go on and add a second goal in the final quarter of the match โ with substitute Stanley Dimgba giving them extra energy following his introduction โ but Maritzburg were able to hold out, and secure a valuable away point. Maritzburg then claimed the lead somewhat against the run of play, with Ndengane scoring from the spot in the 62nd minute to hand control to the Team of Choice. Stellenbosch got off to a strong start and created two early chances for striker Ashley Du Preez inside the opening 15 minutes, the first of which was turned away by Maritzburg goalkeeper Marcel Engelhardt, while the second was turned away.
