Sundowns made two changes to the side that beat Swallows, as Aubrey Modiba was recalled and Haashim Domingo returned from an ankle injury. Richards Bay, meanwhile, could not field Siyanda Msani against his parent club. The Brazilians had a bright start as Themba Zwane came close to giving them the lead in the opening exchanges with a shot at the near post that came off the outside of the post after linking up with Mailula.
Rulani Mokwena's charges continued to look for openings against a deep lying defence from the home side and on 19 minutes Zwane beat the offside trap to go clear on goal, but his shot was thwarted from point-blank range by goalkeeper Jamal Magoola. The Natal Rich Boyz opened the game up by advancing forward but were left exposed at the back as Mailula eventually broke the deadlock for the Brazilians six minutes before the interval with a first-time volley over Magoola after a chip over the top by Modiba80.
