Mxolisi Macuphu opened the scoring for the KwaZulu- Natal side with Victor Letsoalo securing the points later on.

Kaitano Tembo's Supersport United had the first sniff at goal after just four minutes when Iqraam Rayners drew a save out of Patrick Nyame with his venomous shot from range, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The hosts were presented with a golden opportunity to hit back immediately when the referee pointed to the spot after Thamsanqa Gabuza had gone down under a challenge from Lesego Manganyi inside the area. Jamie Webber failed to capitalise though, as his penalty was saved by Nyame.
