A minute later, Maritzburg grabbed the equaliser when Lucky Baloyi scored with a shot that flew in the left corner to make it 1-1 and all to play for. The visitors did more attacking during the second half and started to control possession a lot more compared to the opening 45 minutes. SSU were rewarded for their efforts in the 73rd minute and took the lead when a cross by Iqraam Rayners was headed by Onismor Bhasera from close to beat keeper King Ndlovu and give his side the 2-1 lead.
Luvuyo Memela scored the only goal of the game in the 27th minute as Richards Bay picked up their fourth win in seven league matches this season. Memela capitalised on confusion in the home team's box, pouncing as the ball bounced between defenders, after his first effort was parried by goalkeeper Patrick Nyame, and he reacted quickest again to fire past the shot-stopper to give the visitors the lead. Royal AM could have made the perfect start to the second half but for some excellent last-ditch defending by Richards Bay as Motebang Sera saw his effort blocked on the goal-line.
Nasir then latched on to a Marcelo Allende pass to fire in on goal, but only into the grateful hands of George Chigova. Thapelo Maseko was high and wide on six minutes with a long-range shot, but made no mistake just three minutes later as he slotted home a Rayners pass from close range following a swift break forward, for the opening goal. Sundowns fought back with efforts from Neo Maema and Peter Shalulile as Grobler saw his expertly dispatched header plucked from ending up in the back of the net.

In an unconvincing show, the Warriors battled to a narrow 2-1 victory over Amabutho to reach the final of this inaugural tournament.
However, it was only until the 21st minute the first opportunity was carved out and it fell to Waseem Isaacs, who found the back of the net but had the goal ruled out for offside.

Masandawana could have been 2-0 just moments before the half-time whistle when Shalulile turned provider for Themba Zwane after a well-played ball over the top, but the Sundowns veteran couldn't find the target.
Thapelo Maseko opened the scoring on nine minutes and Bradley Grobler made sure of the result with his goal on the stroke of half time. Abubeker Nassir netted his second goal in two games for Sundowns, this time playing from the start, but it was just a consolation in the 93rd minute.
