The former Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu player scored a stunning free kick in the 69th minute to open the dramatic score 2-1.

Tendamudzimu Matodzi equalized for United in the 85th minute and four minutes later SuperSport completed the comeback thanks to Etiosa Ighodaro, on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns, who curled a shot past goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi to score the third goal.

Lyle Lakay continued to prove his worth after the match when he produced a precise cross to replace Matodzi, whose fierce header beat Akpeyi.

Lakay also played an important role in supporting the defense as he switched to a central midfield role at times in this encounter.
