Match officials were intimidated throughout the tie with Chiefs officials and fans led by chairman Ernest Molome storming the pitch to protest referee, Joshua Bondo's decision. Midfielder, Dirang Moloi went down just outside the box and Chiefs' officials were incensed when the referee failed to award a foul. Chiefs' players went after Bondo but the referee kept them at bay as he threatened to flash a red card. Molome and some Chiefs fans forced their way into the pitch, baying for the referee's blood. But security officers managed to get the situation under control.
With 10 minutes to go, Lesego Galenamotlhale gave Chiefs a 2-1 lead. TAFIC players swarmed the referee arguing that the ball had gone out before Othusitse 'Jabu' Pilane crossed for Galenamotlhale to score. Assistant referee, Ketlogetswe Goitsemodimo came under attack from TAFIC players for his failure to raise his flag to signal that the ball had rolled out. The players threatened to assault Goitsemodimo. Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Bondo called off the game. A TAFIC official was injured in the head after he was hit by a beer bottle thrown by supporters. Police arrested one supporter after the incident.
