The match had plenty of goal-mouth action in the first half with Miguel Timm threatening for Aces and Massa taking a powerful shot that was comfortably held by Jackson Mabogkwane. In-form Themba Zwane almost opened the scoring for Aces through a close range effort that flew wide of the upright. Massa was proving to be a handful for the Aces defence as he forced a stunning save from in the 18^th minute.

Geoffrey Massa was at it again, this time his long-range free-kick was brilliantly saved again by Mabokgwane. Massa’s persistence in attack paid off as he latched onto a long ball from season debutant goalkeeper Trystin Coetsee and finished emphatically by chipping the ball over an on-rushing Mabogkwane to give AmaTuks the lead in the 51^st minute.

5 minutes later Onyekachi Okonkwo came close to levelling matters with a long range effort that flew inches wide of the upright. Veteran defender Mbulelo Mabizela should have equalised in the 65^th minute but he headed wide from six yards out. Geoffrey Massa had another close range effort which was saved by Mabokgwane in the 75^th minute.

AmaTuks managed to not concede a goal and win their tenth match of the season. Coach Steve Barker will be delighted to have completed the double over Aces this season.
