After having played for 6 minutes, Arneil Prince managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. The Lebo Tigers's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arneil Prince was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Brian Ryan fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Brandon Yard shot the penalty kick right outside the post. If Arneil Prince had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

After 34 minutes of play, The Lebo Tigers's Jarrett Fison made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Karl Mackney didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Arneil Prince went, in the 38th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score.
