Bevan Fransman had the ball in the back of the net inside the opening 15 minutes, but the defender's effort was ruled out by the referee for a foul.

However, Middendorp was not happy with the officiating for most of the encounter.

“It was a lovely evening, We scored a clear goal in the first 20 minutes,” Middendorp said after the game.

“The tackling, there were consistently yellow cards only on our side, and their goal was offside, definitely in my opinion, Khune was man of the match, I think that tells you another story.

"I think in the first 20 minutes, they hardly had the ball, they didn't know where to go or what to do, it's frustrating, but I was already frustrated at halftime.
