@XShadyShadow I'm just not convinced the Rinne Sharingan would do anything in this fight. Madara just hasn't shown the feats, so I'm just gonna have to assume there aren't any bar IT. And yes you're right in that just having those Tools doesn't mean you're gonna win. But at the same time, how will Madara win? Because of the similarities between the two, the winner would be decided by how unique they are and how those unique advantages help them. There isn't any way Madara would do serious damage against Hagoromo because of the Susanoo advantage I mentioned. Maybe through Limbo, but even then they can only use taijutsu, and Hagoromo could damage Madara back by attacking the shadows. And don't forget, Hagoromo would absorb any jutsu Madara performs through Preta Path (vice versa too, leading to my next point).

And that is why the Tools are the key to Hagoromo's victory. I can't tell you how he will seal Madara, but eventually he will because guess what? They won't be able to do much to each other (because of their similar abilities) until Madara slips. And Hagoromo won't slip because he will definitely outlast Madara, and when that time comes, Madara would be regretting disposing those Tools.

Regarding your Susanoo point, again I'm gonna have to assume Madara is limited to the Susanoo we've seen from him. There's just too many hypotheticals in this battle... :/
