The visitors struck first in the opening minutes, with flyhalf Chadwin Sellidon successfully kicking a penalty to give FNB SPU an early lead. However, FNB CPUT responded quickly and assertively. Kieran Naidoo scored a try in the corner to equalize, and then Samukelisiwe Madonsela powered over for a converted try, shifting the momentum firmly in favor of the hosts. Although FNB SPU managed to narrow the gap with a try from Kabelo Keagile, FNB CPUT regained control with clinical finishing. Jacquin Jacobus and Dwayne Atkins added further tries, allowing the hosts to take a comfortable 27-10 lead into halftime.
The second half was one-sided, as FNB CPUT's attacking dominance persisted. Lihle Kula, Madonsela, and Atkins all scored tries, while flyhalf Reuben Noble added important conversions to keep the score moving. Kula later completed his brace, capping off an impressive individual performance.
FNB SPU showed late resistance with two tries from Jaiden Faviers, but it was not enough to stop FNB CPUT’s momentum, as the hosts’ precise execution secured a comprehensive victory on home ground.
