In their second and final game of the day, the young Chiefs drew 1-1 against Cape Town City juniors. Naledi Njabulo Hlongwane scored Amakhosi’s goal. It was almost four wins out of four but for a missed penalty in the match against City.

Group A winners, Chiefs, are joined in the last four by runners-up Cape Town City.
