Desert Rats FC played their Cup First Round 2nd Leg at home, and took it easy in the first-half. Left-winger Gary Cusack opened the scoring three minutes after the break, tapping in a cross from opposite winger Emerson de Alencar Arraes. In the absence of primary penalty taker Matt Goggin through injury, Cusack got the opportunity to put his SA to work in the 74th minute when a foul in the box gave the hosts a Penalty kick, and he coolly slotted the ball past the visiting custodian to increase the lead. Five minutes later, de Alencar Arraes curled in a free-kick, before Cusack notched up his hat-trick with five minutes to go to make the final score 4-0. The Rats go through to the next Round 6-0 on aggregate.
