Stellenbosch and Magesi played out an entertaining 1-1 draw that was defined by contrasting halves and a crucial red card. The hosts took the lead through Langelihle Phili's well-taken goal in the 35th minute, but their advantage was short-lived as Samuel Darpoh equalized just seven minutes later with a composed finish. The turning point came in the 72nd minute when Stellenbosch's Wonderboy Makhubu was sent off for violent conduct, forcing the home side to defend their point with ten men. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Stellenbosch held firm in the final stages, though both teams exchanged yellow cards in a feisty conclusion that saw six substitutions in the dying moments as managers sought fresh legs for the finale.
