Pirates continued to create scoring chances but failed to convert. The match went for the breather with Pirates enjoying the lead.

Highlanders came back in the second half fighting hard for an equaliser and it came through three after minutes after the hour mar through Manqoba Malindzisa who blasted the ball to the net after he was left unmarked in the box.
The match then went straight for penalties where Pirates missed the target through Sebenele Motsa and Colani Mabilisa. The trio of Akhona Dlamini, Sanele Dlamini and Sihle Zikalala all converted.
