The Ghana stopper had very little to do against as his former team failed to threaten in attack for most of the evening.

GOALKEEPER: Richard Ofori – 6

The ex-Maritzburg man was busy down the right flank, always looking to be involved, but was unable to make any telling contributions.

RIGHT-BACK:  Bandile Shandu - 6

Showed some classy, composed defending in the first half and was having a great game until he was caught ball-watching for Marirzburg’s goal.

CENTRE-BACK: Happy Jele - 5

A little off his usual best in the first 20 minutes, but became more composed as the game went on.

CENTRE-BACK: Olisa Ndah – 6

A subdued performance, and Maela could have done more to stop the visitors from scoring as he allowed Theron to cross after a poor defensive header.

LEFT-BACK: Innocent Maela - 5

Missed an early chance, then hit the post, and then scored, all in the first 21 minutes. You could see his self-belief and rhythm coming back; Lorch still looking for his best form after a long-term injury. The late back-heel assist for Dlamini underlined his growing confidence. Three assists and one goal, it was some night.

RIGHT-WING: Thembinkosi Lorch - 8

Gave away a few fouls, but did the dirty work well to ensure Bucs set the tempo and had possession of the ball.

CENTRE-MID: Ben Motshwari – 6

Showed his usual guile and creativity on the ball and was the oil in the Bucs machine, linking the team through the middle of the park.

CENTRE-MID: Goodman Mosele – 7

Dlamini has taken stick from the fans this season. But this was one of his better performances as he regularly found pockets of space to receive possession and used the ball tellingly to create chances for team-mates, also having a couple of shots himself before getting on the score-sheet with an emphatic finish.

CENTRE-MID ATTACKING: Kabelo Dlamini – 7

The Ghana striker had struggled to get into the game in the first half, only to pop up and score just before the interval.

STRIKER: Kwame Peprah – 6

Didn’t have a great first half, but as Maritzburg withered, the Namibian went from strength to strength and he took his goal superbly on the turn and also provided an assist.

LEFT-WING: Deon Hotto – 7

Lively against his old side, but didn’t make a major impact.

SUBSTITUTE: Fortune Makaringe – 6

Little involvement despite getting 20 minutes.

SUBSTITUTE: Bongani Sam – 5

Should have scored after a great touch to control Mosele’s through-ball, but lacked composure when it counted.

SUBSTITUTE: Tshegofatso Mabasa – 6

Did little in a 10-minute cameo.

SUBSTITUTE: Wayde Jooste - 5

Came on with Jooste and also didn't do much.

SUBSTITUTE: Linda Mntambo  - 5
