The match between University of Pretoria FC and Leruma United FC saw the home team clinching a narrow victory with a 1-0 scoreline. The pivotal moment came early in the match when University of Pretoria FC capitalized on an opportunity to score the only goal in the 12th minute. This early lead put Leruma United under pressure, significantly impacting their approach for the remainder of the game as they struggled to break down a well-organized defense.

The University of Pretoria FC demonstrated effective teamwork, particularly in maintaining their defensive structure, evidenced by conceding zero offsides while their opponents were caught offside three times. This discipline at the back allowed them to maintain their lead throughout the match. Furthermore, both teams won an equal number of corner kicks—seven each—indicating a balanced contest in terms of attacking setups. However, the precision in their early execution is what differentiated the home side.

Leruma United FC's effort to find an equalizer was marred by their lack of discipline, highlighted by the early yellow card received just seven minutes into the match. This caution seemed to affect their aggressive tackling and confidence in challenging for the ball, making them somewhat conservative. Despite the tactical changes and possible substitutions throughout the match, their inability to capitalize on set pieces and break the offside trap curtailed their comeback efforts. The strong defensive performance and disciplined play by University of Pretoria FC were decisive in their victory.
