In this encounter, Maritzburg United came out with a storm by scoring two goals within the first eight minutes of the match. Venda FA looked caught off guard and their defense line looked shaky. Maritzburg capitalized on this by netting their third goal at 00:31:45.

However, Venda FA showed a brief spark of resilience by scoring a goal two minutes later reducing the deficit to two goals. Regardless of this, Maritzburg's defense remained sturdy throughout the first half.

On the other hand, Venda FA struggled to maintain a compact defensive line, conceded five goals and committed more offside errors. Their only solace was a lone goal, the impact of which was largely reduced by Maritzburg's repeated counter attacks.

The final result, a dominant 5-1 victory for Maritzburg United, was well-deserved as they maintained their superior position on both ends of the field throughout. Still, both teams will need to analyze their strategies, particularly around disciplinary actions to eliminate unnecessary bookings in future encounters.
