The Brazilians were the favorites to win the final, but Dikwena Tsa Metsi pulled a surprise, coming from a goal down to defeat the PSL defending champions. Sundowns took the lead through Iqraam Rayners in the first half, but second-half goals from Tshepo Kakora and Delano Abrahams gave Magesi the deserved win over Masandawana. Sundowns dominated the game's opening minutes, but Elvis Chipezeze stopped the Brazilians from hitting the back of the net.
The game's first real chance fell into Teboho Mokoena's hands, but Chipezeze saved his shot from outside the box in the eighth minute. Four minutes later, the Zimbabwean goalkeeper was called into action and saved Rayners' effort to keep the game goalless. Standing out in social media world? Easy!
