The victorious coach NC Liverpool’s Pepsi Phepheng said afterwards he was happy with the game as they had gone out to collect the maximum points of the match, anyway.

Stars’ coach Thomas Tshabalala said he was under the impression that they would have an easy game seeing that they had scored first. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out that way as Liverpool had plans of their own, he said.
The first goal in the match came in the opening five minutes from a freekick taken by Bandile Ntshangisa of Magareng All Stars to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. After that Liverpool kept up the pressure on their opponents as they grafted for their own equalising goal.
They got there in the 34th minute, also from a free kick when Vuyisile Ndedlana scored for his side. Elton Khala then made the score 2-1 for Liverpool in the 37th minute.
