In the finals, the first half ended in a stalemate, while the second half was action-packed as both sides searched for an opening goal. AmaUnits\u2019 star player, Thandisizwe Tukani, was instrumental in the centre of the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last 10 minutes of the game, Amabhayinari came strongly to AmaUnits. Amabhayinari\u2019s tall striker, Asakhe Vambe, rose higher than the AmaUnits\u2019 defender, heading the ball into the back of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
