The match was played in a 3-1-1 formation, a setup that saw Rising Sun FC deploy three defenders at the back, a single holding midfielder, and one forward player leading the attack. This formation demanded solidity from the defensive trio, who were tasked with maintaining a compact shape and stifling Frans FC’s offensive efforts. The lone midfielder was expected to link defence and attack, providing support both in possession and when out of it, while the forward’s role was to spearhead attacks and capitalise on scoring opportunities.

With no substitutes named for either side, the starting line-ups remained unchanged throughout the match, placing emphasis on the stamina and tactical discipline of the players on the pitch.

The first half saw a balanced contest, with both teams probing for openings but unable to break the deadlock before the interval at 20 minutes. Rising Sun FC’s defensive organisation was particularly effective, preventing Frans FC from creating clear chances. The half-time whistle arrived with the score still goalless, setting the stage for a decisive second period.

In the second half, Rising Sun FC found their rhythm and began to assert greater control over the game. Their forward line capitalised on the space created by the midfield, leading to two well-taken goals that ultimately secured the win. The defence remained resolute, ensuring a clean sheet and frustrating Frans FC’s attempts to respond.

Standout performances came from Mpumi and Morena, who were named players of the match for their influential roles. Mpumi’s work rate and tactical awareness in midfield helped maintain possession and disrupt the opposition’s play, while Morena’s defensive contributions and leadership at the back were vital in preserving the shutout.

Rising Sun FC’s 2-0 victory at Langaville was a testament to their disciplined approach and effective use of the 3-1-1 formation, leaving Frans FC unable to find a way through in this brief but intense six-a-side encounter.
