However, Dondol began to see a lot of the ball and in forward areas ahead
of halftime, and eventually levelled matters when Ricardo Goss fumbled a
cutback from the left of the area, which allowed Relebogile Molefe to slot
home from close range.
The visitors kept calm and went ahead around the last 10 minutes when
Surprise Monama’s low snap-shot took a deflection and wrong-footed Goss
before rolling in the net.
SuperSport battled to find a response and in fact were nearly caught
conceding a third from a two-on-two attack, but the effort went wide.
They did have a late chance through Thabang Sibanyoni’s rasping shot
following a scramble in the area, but it was parried away by goalkeeper
Sphamandla Gumede, as Stars held on for the famous win.
