They recently parted ways with the technical team headed by coach, Rapelang Tsatsilebe. It only took five minutes for Systems to break the deadlock.
The goal resulted from an exquisite attack that saw the left wing back, Oabile Makopo putting in a low cross into the box, which forced Mpho Dikganetswe to make an error, scoring an own goal when he tried to clear the ball from danger.
They doubled the lead 10 minutes later through Morris Ruzivo who beat goalkeeper, Botlhe Moralo from a tight angle. The left side for Ghost seemed to be the weakest link with almost all the dangerous moves from Systems coming from there.
It was a busy day in office for Moralo as he made save after save. Ghost were forced to make a substitution after Moralo suffered an injury on his wrist trying to stop a powerful shot from Ruzivo. Systems were caught napping and Holy Ghost pulled one back courtesy of Arnold Lekwape who headed home from Sylvester Kenamile's cross.
The two sides went to the break with Systems 2-1. From the break, Holy Ghost came back as the better team and appeared to have been denied a legitimate penalty after one of Systems' defenders clearly handled the ball inside the box. However on the 55th minute, they leveled terms with Phadza Chose tapping in after Systems' goalkeeper, Michael Masule parried the ball on his way. Three minutes later, Kamogelo Basimanebotlhe found the back of the net to give Holy Ghost a 3-2 lead.
Ghosts started playing low block once again trying to defend the lead and invited more attack from Systems. Systems found the equaliser through Tebogo Kopelang as the two sides shared spoils.
