In the match, Zubza team opened the scoring in the 22nd minute from the keeper Kevitho Neikha’s blunder for Shiirhosiil Zhotso to score. Twenty XI on the other hand were dominant in the midfield area but failed to connect with the strikers as Zudza’s defenders defended the score.
Playmaker Khiuwangbo Kaurinthah was involved in the chances created for Zubza team and the 44th minute, he was fault by Twenty XI defender outside the 18 yard box to award a free kick; Kekhrieletuo Tsira took the free kick to score in the 44th min to end the first half 2-0.
In the second half, Zudza’s defenders looked comfortable as Twenty XI team failed to breach the defensive line. But it was Shiirhosiil Zhotso who scored again in the 50th minute from a goalkeeping error as Kaurinthah corner kick was misjudged by the keeper when the deflection went into Zhotso to tap in his second goal for Sechu Subza in the 50th minute to make it 3-0.
Best chance came for Twenty Xi came when Zevito Khizho was fed by a long pass but goalie Rajusituo Nagi managed to divert the ball to keep a clean sheet at the end of the match.
