It was won by Moroka Swallows, who defeated Mamelodi Sundowns 5–1 in the replayed final.[2] Swallows were coached by Eddie Lewis.[3][4][5]
Swallows were leading the first final 1-0 until the 89th minute, when a back pass by captain Goodman Hlongwane was intercepted.[5] In the replay, Lewis moved Owen Da Gama to striker, and dropped Les Grobler to midfield. The Sundowns defence were confused, following Grobler deep into midfield, with Da Gama exploiting the gaps to score two goals.[4]
