Simba returned from the break with greater attacking intent, and Mpanzu increased their lead in the 56th minute. Doumbia then found the net nine minutes later to give the visitors a comfortable cushion.

The pressure continued as Makgalwa made it 4-0 in the 72nd minute, leaving 15 de Agosto with a difficult task to get back into the match.

Oura added another goal in the 82nd minute before Doumbia struck again in the 88th minute to complete his brace and seal a remarkable six-goal haul for Simba.
