Orlando Pirates maintained a persistent pressure and just after 17 after Sirinos opener, Evidence Makgopa made an equaliser resulting the match to end 1-1 in the first half.

The second half saw Kaizer chiefs skilfully control the games tempo and manage their game with confidence while they were making sure that there are not making any mistakes. After kaizer Chiefs has been knocking with no luck, the coach decided to take a risk by taking Thabo Cele out and replace him with Mfundo Obrigado Vilakazi. He was the game changer, putting more pressure on Orlando Pirates and that resulted in Yusuf Maart scoring a fantastic goal that made Amakhosi to be the 2025 Nedbank Cup champions.
