University of Pretoria became the first team to lift the MultiChoice Diksi Challenge trophy after beating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 on penalties in the final at the Nike Football Training Centre in Pimville, Soweto on Saturday afternoon.
The match had finished 2-2 after extra time.
Botshelo Mfulwane opened the scoring in the 13th minute when he tapped Sifiso Nzimande's cross into the back of the net, scoring his fourth goal of the competition.
Sundowns were level six minutes later after defender Rheece Evans headed Percy Tau's free past Lebogang Ngubeni, whose slight touch wasn't enough to keep the ball out.
The match failed to produce any goals in the second half and the teams went into extra time.
Sundowns got their second when veteran striker Rodney Ramagalela beat an offside crap from Tau's through pass and raced towards and put the ball past an advancing Ngubeni in 100th minute..
Tuks equalised eleven minutes later after Jason Skippers handled Dikgang Ngcobo's strike. The strike took the responsibility and converted the spotkick to make it 2-2.
The winner had to be decided via the penalty shootouts, which were dominated by missed attempts.
Mfulwane and Ronald Ketjijere scored their spotkicks for Tuks while Sundowns' only successful penalty was scored by Lebohang Mokoena.
