The first half was not that difficult for both teams because they managed to score equal goals, TCE 2 scored one goal whereas Sosh 2 also scored two goals. TCE 2 was now under pressure. Sosh 5 most players got injured so they had to change players now and then and that led to the time being wasted.

Sosh 2 players had much energy from the game started till the game ended, that was a disadvantage for the opposite team. The second half was very tough for both teams, there were many goals possession, but they couldn’t even score goals in the second half. Goalkeeper for TCE  2 had a huge injury during the match which led the matched to be stopped for some time. They had to get another goalkeeper.

This led teams to go on penalties. Sosh 2 won two penalties and TCE 2 got zero penalties. Oratile Mahapa the Sosh 2 coach said, “my opinion with this game, the game was tough. We have been planning for it for a week so the whole team worked. So overall this led to penalties which is something we never planned, it happens unexpected, but we won all thanks to the team.”

John Kubayi goalkeeper for Sosh 2 said, “I feel happy that my team won, all the mistake that they did, I had to rectify all those mistakes. I saved the team in those penalties because we never lose.”

Tsepo Skosana the coach for TCE 2 commented and said, “the approach of the game sensitive in a way that we lost our crucial players yesterday at the gym, one player broke his leg. So, today’s game I think we managed with those injuries, no one recognised. Hence, we played, and I know my players are playing and I know very well they are not good penalty takers. All in all, it’s a win for us because we played two streams league one and league two. On our stream we substitute number one we won because they are giving us the trophy, so I acknowledge, and I am very proud of them.”
