The game at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on February 23 had to be called off at half time due to a power failure at the venue.
Arrows – ‘Starting from the second half’
“Our previously postponed Betway Prem fixture against SuperSport United will be completed, starting from the second half,” said Arrows on Twitter on Thursday.
“The date and time for the remainder of the match is still to be decided. We will update you on this as soon as possible.”
It is unclear quite why it has taken the Premier Soccer League almost three months to make a decision regarding the match.
There was a possibility that a PSL Disciplinary Committee would award the game to Arrows, as SuperSport as the home side failed to supply a backup generator.
But with both sides still in danger of relegation, it has now been decided that the game will be played. The first 45 minutes on February 23 ended at 1-1, so that is where the game will start from when it is played to a finish.
With Royal AM kicked out of the league, only one team faces possible relegation via the play offs at the end of this season.
Battle to avoid finishing 15th
Cape Town City are currently in the relegation play-off spot in 15th in the table on 26 points. SuperSport are ahead of City only on goal difference, but have one game in hand.
Arrows are a point clear of both, also with one game in hand.
City will play Stellenbosch on Saturday at the Cape Town Stadium in their last game of the season. On the same day at the same time, SuperSport will host Richards Bay while Arrows are at home to Sekhukhune.

Depending on how those matches go, SuperSport v Arrows could then be the match that decides who goes into the play-offs, or it could be a meaningless half of football.
