  Richard Ofori – 7.5/10

  Relatively untroubled throughout the game.

  Ofori dealt well with aerial balls which were played in his area with Simba failing to take shots on target. 

  He was the hero during the penalty shootout as he denied Jonas Mkude and he went on to convert the final spot-kick to earn Bucs a 4-3 win on penalties.

  Bandile Shandu – 6/10

  Not a particularly eye-catching performance from him. 

  Shandu was comfortable on the ball, but hardly needed to use his pace to track back and squandered a great opportunity in front of goal in the first half.

  Innocent Maela – 7/10

  Made his second successive start with Paseko Mako out injured.

  Maela always ventured forward which saw him grab an assist for the only goal of the match. He was also rock-solid defensively as he contained Israel Mwenda until he was substituted in the closing stages.

  Olisa Ndah – 8/10

  Marked his return to the starting line-up with an eye-catching performance.

  Ndah was sound in defence for the Buccaneers making vital clearances and interceptions, while also being a threat in the opposition's box. He was denied twice by goalkeeper Aishi Manula.
