In the 21st minute, Edwin Olerile dribbled past Moloi and Keleagetse Mogomotsi to make it 2-0 for the Reds. BDF XI did not lose hope and hit back in the 34th minute when Othusitse Mpharithe scoring a marvelous in-swinger from a free-kick. Matebele continued to rattle GU in search for the equaliser, but had to wait until the 51st minute to pull level when Master Masitara scored with a brilliant header. Sembowa failed to punish BDF XI when he got an easy chance, but looped the ball over the bar.
