Orapa United won 3 - 1 on penalties
DYNAMOS coach Lloyd Chigowe was left to rue playing home games away from home after his side were booted out of the Caf Confederation Cup tournament.
DeMbare needed to avoid defeat for them to proceed to the group stage of the tournament but they failed to defend their 1-0 lead from the first leg.
Kelvin Moyo's first half penalty was saved by impressive Orapa goalkeeper Lesenya Malapela after Emmanuel Paga had been fouled inside the box.

Orapa then kept their discipline and patiently waited for their chance and it arrived in the 77th minute via a set piece which was turned in by DeMbare skipper Frank Makarati.
In the shootout Orapa scored all three penalties that they took, but Nomore Chinyerere, Valentine Kadonzvo and Eli Ilunga all missed from the spot.
Chinyerere skied his effort while Kadonzvo and Ilunga had their kicks saved.
Chigowe bemoaned the lack of facilities back home to host Caf-sanctioned matches, but also admitted that his side had themselves to blame after missing chances.
“We had the chances to kill off this contest, we had a penalty and we failed to score. Just like in the first match we had a glut of chances that we failed to take advantage of,” he said.
“So at the end of the day we have ourselves to blame. But also we played both matches away from home. That's a big disadvantage. We played in the lion's den twice and we lost. If we had played one of the matches at home I am sure the outcome would have been different. It will be difficult to lift the boys after this, but that's our job we will go back and talk to them so that we can challenge in other competitions.”
Dynamos created some chances in the first half where Paga even hit the back of the net but the effort was ruled offside.
Paga also scored from a rebound after Moyo's penalty was saved, but it was chalked off for handball.
The second half was a different affair with Orapa seizing control of the game with some slick passing.
They pegged Dynamos in their own half with Chigowe's side struggling free themselves up.
That pressure told as DeMbare were finally sliced open through the set piece.
DeMbare goalkeeper Martin Mapisa had not been forced into any saves until that chance.
