SuperSport United grew into the game as the first half progressed, but they were unable to create any clear-cut chances. The half ended with the score 0-0.

Gaborone United continued to press for the opening goal in the second half, but it was SuperSport United who broke the deadlock in the 48th minute. Keenan Bezuidenhout, who had just been introduced, finished off a neat move to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Gaborone United pushed for an equaliser and they were finally rewarded in added time. Sheikh Sesay curled a beautiful free-kick into the top corner to make it 1-1.
