The pair were to go toe-to-toe for the title before it was stopped with 10 games to go because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This Saturday, as early as the sixth minute, Lebopo Moremi played a back-heel pass to Mohammed Diallo but the latter's shot was deflected wide.

From a corner kick, Mosha Gaolaolwe had the chance to open the score sheet but he shot wide off the goalposts. After the two chances, Popa had an upper hand but could not get into the final third. Tackles flew all over the field from both sides and the referee was too quick to stamp his authority. By the 35th minute he had already dished out three cautions.
