Usuthu made three changes from their defeat to Golden Arrows, as Bonginkosi Ntuli, Keagan Buchanan and Abbubaker Mobara were recalled while City were unchanged ...

It took some time before the game got to life again as Kajally Drammeh had the best chance for City on 15 minutes of extra-time in the box but fired his shot just wide after a cross by Gonzalez. City squandered a couple of opportunities to net the winner in the closing stages and Usuthu, playing on counter-attacks nearly stole victory in the dying minutes after Kwem had a another slick turn in the box but his thumping shot was brilliantly saved by shot-stopper Darren Keet, sending the game to extra-time. Eric Tinkler's charges increased the intensity of their attacks towards the end of the first stanza as Mayo had a big chance after a through ball by Taahir Goedeman found him unmarked in the box but his curling shot missed the top corner by a whisker.
