The home side continued to put more pressure on Amakhosi's defence, especially from set-pieces, but they managed to keep the half-time score at 1-0.

Nasreddine Nabi's side were all out in the second half, but TS Galaxy's defence was solid to keep their lead.

Bafana Bafana star Rushwin Dortley was subbed off in the 67th minute due to injury and was replaced by Happy Mashiane.
