PHOTO&#8217;S. Asem Engage &#8211; Hannes Naude<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first half in Bloemfontein was played at a frenetic pace, with both teams eager to make an early statement and pile on the pressure. The hosts, appearing in just their second-ever final, had the first real chance when in-form Jerome Jansen\u2019s effort flew narrowly wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was end-to-end football as both sides searched for the breakthrough. But the 25th minute proved pivotal when inspirational UFS captain Iviwe Dyabuza and TUT\u2019s star player Lucky Raphala&nbsp;collided&nbsp;heavily in midfield. The nasty clash forced both inspirational figures off for the rest of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With neither side able to find the opener, the teams went into the break locked at 0-0.In the second half, UFS launched wave after wave of attack, but the Red Army\u2019s defence stood firm. Despite their dominance, the Kovsies simply couldn\u2019t find a way through, and the match remained deadlocked \u2013 sending the final to penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defining moment of the shootout came with TUT\u2019s third spot-kick, when Lehlomo Tolo blasted his attempt over the crossbar. UFS kept their composure, though there was a moment of confusion when the crowd celebrated too early, mistakenly thinking Kediwe&nbsp;Ncenya&nbsp;had missed his effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, it was substitute Theko Phinithi \u2013 who had replaced the injured Dyabuza \u2013 who slotted home the decisive penalty to seal a famous 5-4 victory for the home side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scoring the points in the final:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UFS: <\/strong>Jose Mondi, Omphemetse Athibeng, Jerome Jansen, Ben Kraai, Theko Phinithi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TUT: <\/strong>Alan Moja, Surprise Khoza, Katlego

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and
