In the seventh minute, Guily Manziba received a straight red card after a reckless challenge on Sundowns’s midfielder Sphelele Mkhulisa leaving SuperSport to play the rest of the game down to 10-men.
SuperSport almost got their opener in the 29th minute after Bradly Grobler took advantage of a loose pass from Brian Onyango only for the Sundowns goalkeeper Denis Onyango coming to the rescue.

As the game was about to go to halftime, Zwane gave Sundowns the third goal through Modiba’s second assist of the day.
On the 54th minute, Sundowns got a penalty when Keenan Philips handled the ball inside the box. However Zwane’s spot kick was stopped by Williams.
Finally the SuperSport relentless fight was rewarded in 88th minute when Mokoena rescued them from going home goalless by scoring a long range goal making the score to be 3-1 in favour of the Sundowns.
Despite of Sundowns Denis Onyango walking away from the field after a hand injury thus forcing Brian to be the goalkeeper since they had exhausted their substitution, they managed to clinch the league title at the stoppage time.
