The robust warm-up before was enough signal that a mini-war is looming. The see-saw battle in the first set, narrowly won by Kutlwano indicated that it was going to be a tight contest.
The second set was like a replay of the first, but buoyed by their 1-0 lead, Kutlwano seemed to be having the edge. At one point there was a 24-24 stalemate but Kutlwano managed to overpower their opponents, 26-24 to extend their lead.
