The match, which kicked off at 11:00 am, showcased a blend of tactical prowess and youthful exuberance, culminating in a well-deserved win for the Mamelodi side.

PMFC Mamelodi U15 lined up in a dynamic 4-3-3 formation, designed to maximise both defensive solidity and attacking flair. Paballo Malobela held the fort as the goalkeeper, while a back four comprised of Karabo Mokonyane on the right, Moratehi Motsima and Vuyani Ngobeni in central defence, and Choene Pholosho on the left provided a robust defensive structure. In midfield, Maicon Phasha operated on the right, Thabang Magoro anchored the centre, and Emmanuel Sithole took up the left flank. Up front, Tshegofatso Moepi and Letlhogonolo Mathebula flanked striker Tebatso Mokitlane, creating a potent attacking trio. The substitutes for the match included Solomzi Magugu, Leago Mathe, and Kgothatso Mathipa.

The first half saw PMFC Mamelodi U15 assert their dominance early on, controlling possession and creating several opportunities. However, it was in the 20th minute that the first significant event occurred, as Letlhogonolo Mathebula had to be substituted due to injury, making way for Solomzi Magugu. This change did not disrupt Mamelodi's rhythm, as they continued to press forward with intent.

As the match approached the half-time mark, the Mamelodi side maintained their composure, with Thabang Magoro orchestrating play from the midfield. The first half concluded with the score still at 0-0, but the Mamelodi team had shown enough promise to suggest that goals were imminent.

The second half began with tactical adjustments, as Emmanuel Sithole was replaced by Leago Mathe just before the break, allowing for a more aggressive approach in midfield. The Mamelodi players emerged with renewed energy, and their persistence paid off shortly after the half-time interval.

In the 55th minute, another tactical substitution saw Tebatso Mokitlane make way for Kgothatso Mathipa. This change injected fresh legs into the attack, and it wasn't long before Mamelodi's efforts bore fruit. The team’s attacking prowess was finally rewarded, as they found the back of the net twice, securing a comfortable lead.

As the match progressed, PMFC Mamelodi U15 showcased their defensive resilience, thwarting any attempts by One West FC to mount a comeback. The final whistle confirmed a 2-0 victory, ensuring that Mamelodi advanced in the cup competition with a display of skill, teamwork, and determination.
