In the Chiefs-Stellenbosch game, shortly before fulltime and penalties with the game tied 0–0, Chief's goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari refused to be substituted for Bruce Bvuma. Ntwari saved one penalty, but Chiefs ultimately lost the shootout, and stated that they would address the situation internally. [6]
