Mamelodi Sundowns beat Lamontville Golden Arrows 3-2 in the second leg and advanced to the final on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate draw.
The prediction required Golden Arrows to advance after a 1-1 draw. The match report says Sundowns won the second leg 3-2, so Arrows did not draw 1-1 and did not progress.

The verdict· graded 29 Aug
South Africa beat New Zealand at DHL Stadium in the second Test on 29 August 2026.
The claim said the All Blacks would defeat the Springboks, but the recorded result was the opposite: South Africa won that second Test in Cape Town. Because the match was completed and the final score went against the prediction, the claim is false.

Chelsea did not win 2-1; the match finished Fulham 2-3 Chelsea on 2026-08-24.
The call on the winner was right, but the predicted scoreline was wrong: Chelsea did beat Fulham, yet not 2-1. The actual result was 3-2, so the claim missed the margin and final score.

Lando Norris won the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, George Russell finished second, and Charles Leclerc finished fifth.
The claim got the podium order wrong: Norris did not finish second, Russell did not finish third, and Leclerc did not win at all. The actual result had Norris first, Russell second, and Leclerc fifth, so the predicted finishing positions do not match the outcome.

The All Blacks beat South Africa 33–16 in the opening Test on 22 August 2026, so the Springboks did not win the series unbeaten.
The claim required South Africa to win the series without losing any match, but the All Blacks won the opening Test. That means the Springboks did not go unbeaten, so the prediction was wrong.

The All Blacks won the first test 33-16, so South Africa could not be 3-0 up after the first three tests.
The claim predicted South Africa would be 3-0 up after the first three tests, but the first test was won by the All Blacks 33-16. That makes the 3-0 South African lead impossible, so the claim was wrong.

The All Blacks beat South Africa 33–16 on 2026-08-22, and Damian McKenzie started at fly-half instead of Reuben Love.
The claim was about Reuben Love starting at fly-half, but the outcome says Damian McKenzie started there instead. So the prediction got the selected starter wrong, even though the All Blacks did play South Africa.

New Zealand beat South Africa 33-16 at Ellis Park on 22 August 2026, so the All Blacks did not win 26-19. (Score corrected by the desk: the original automated resolution reported a 31-27 South Africa win, contradicting nine other resolutions of the same match.)
The call named the right winner but the wrong scoreline: the All Blacks did win, but 33-16 rather than 26-19, so the predicted margin was out by eleven points.
