Controversial Goal Hands Orapa Victory

United won the first round tie by a solitary goal. There were also several refereeing decisions during the match that were questioned by both teams.

United could have at least scored three goals in the first half because they were totally dominant. In the opening minutes of the match, forward Omaatla Kebatho missed a notable opportunity to put the hosts ahead when he sent the ball over the bar instead of easily beating the keeper. Once again, in the 17th minute he sent his shot wide after he capitalised from a poor clearance by the visitors’ defence.
