Mphumzi Kalolo doubled the lead following a swift move from midfield. Despite Luzipo Sesethu and Ayavuya Kelemana's efforts to regain control, the home side continued to dominate.

Oyisa Jantjies added a third goal just before half-time, giving the Black Cats a commanding 3-0 lead at the break.

The home side remained in control during the closing stages, with Henristot Kawaya adding a fifth goal.

La liga managed a late consolation through Siphosethu Matha, ending the match 5-2.
