BackpagepixReyaad Pieterse – 7/10
A rush of blood to the head led to Downs' third-choice keeper conceding a late penalty.
However, Pieterse denied Mohamed Abdelrahman from the spot-kick – only to be beaten by Osman Mokhtar from the rebound having conceded his first goal after being let down by his defence.
Apart from that, Pieterse made some important saves throughout the game and dealt well with aerial balls.

Returned to his natural position as a right-back and he produced his best performance thus far this term.
Morena was a big menace down the right flank – sprinting forward with great energy and purpose while combining superbly with his teammates in the opposition's half.
The Bafana Bafana international showed great composure in front of goal when he scored twice and he was also rock-solid defensively.
BackpagepixLyle Lakay – 6/10
Given all sorts of headaches by Eid Mugadam.
Lakay also looked sloppy in possession, but he was a threat to the hosts' from dead-ball situations and he forced goalkeeper Mohamed Abooja into making a good save from a free-kick.
BackpagepixBrian Mandela – 6/10
Apart from conceding a foul which led to his dismissal Mandela played well.
Mandela won his aerial duels and made vital interceptions, but he was correctly sent off after he tripped Mugadam, who was through on goal in the 11th minute.
