The match unfolded at SuperSport’s home ground, and the intense battle left fans on the edge of their seats until the final moments.

The opening goal came from Cape Town City’s Aubrey Ngoma, who expertly found the net in the 44th minute, putting the visitors in the lead. However, the narrative took a dramatic turn deep into injury time when Egwuekwe, in only his second appearance for SuperSport since his transfer from Finnish club KuPS in 2017, seized the opportunity to level the score.

This late equalizer marked a milestone for Egwuekwe, who celebrated his first goal for SuperSport United, demonstrating his impact on the team. The draw, secured in the dying moments of the match, underscores the resilience and determination of the home side.

Obinna Nsofor, a key player for Cape Town City, also played a significant role in the match, making his seventh league appearance and contributing one goal thus far in the season.

Following this intense clash, SuperSport United now finds themselves in the 11th position on the league table, amassing 15 points in the highly competitive 16-team Absa Premiership. Egwuekwe’s history as a member of the Super Eagles squad that clinched the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations adds a layer of significance to his recent heroics, further solidifying his place in the hearts of fans and teammates alike.
