The second half began with renewed vigour, but it was Labyrinth who found themselves in the referee's book first, as Mogorosi Katane received a yellow card in the 53rd minute for a bad tackle. This moment of indiscipline could have proved costly, but Labyrinth maintained their composure.

The breakthrough came in the 68th minute when Pule Phosisi found the net with a powerful header from close range, expertly assisted by Karabo Molekwa. The goal sent the home fans into raptures, as Labyrinth took a crucial lead in the match.

In a tactical move, Labyrinth made their first substitution in the 79th minute, bringing on Johnny Liebenberg for Tshireletso Nkosi. This change aimed to solidify their midfield presence as they sought to protect their slender advantage.

Just three minutes later, Labyrinth made another tactical switch, introducing Mogomotsi Motene in place of Amogelang Lesedi. With the clock ticking down, Labyrinth focused on maintaining their lead and stifling any attempts from Dream Team to equalise.

As the match approached its conclusion, Johnny Liebenberg found himself in the referee's book as well, receiving a yellow card in the 88th minute for another bad tackle. Despite the late pressure from Dream Team, Labyrinth held firm, demonstrating resilience and determination.

The final whistle confirmed Labyrinth's hard-fought victory, with Thato Moseneke earning accolades as the standout player of the match. The result not only boosts Labyrinth's league standing but also serves as a testament to their defensive solidity and attacking prowess when it mattered most.
