The home side’s tries were scored by flanker Vincent Tshituka and scrumhalf Williams with Curwin Bosch finding the middle of the poles with his conversions. 

Benetton got on the scoresheet in the first half from tries scored by Negri da Ollegio and Nacho Brex with Tomás Albornoz getting both conversions spot on. 

The Sharks got the second half off to the best possible start with Springbok captain and flanker Siya Kolisi touching down for their third try of the evening and Bosch doing the rest with the boot. 

Soon after, three tries followed in quick succession with Joaquin Riera narrowing the gap, Williams registering his second and Edoardo Padovani making it a two-point game with the Sharks enjoying a slight advantage. 

Benetton thought they were back in the game but Mapimpi stretched their lead for the Sharks with a brace of his own while Albornoz scored the consolation try for the Benetton.
