Fhulufhelo Mashau of All Stars was pulled from behind within the box and the referee awarded a penalty to All Stars. Rinae Phaswana converted with a volley. The players of Peace Makers were not happy with the manner in which the referee was handling the game and approached him angrily, accusing him of favouritism.
