Chiefs made five changes from their loss against Sekhukhune United, as Sifiso Hlanti and Siyethemba Sithebe returned from suspension alongside recalls for Mduduzi Shabalala, Happy Mashiane and a rare start for Njabulo Ngcobo, in place of the injured Edmilson Dove.
Amakhosi were on the front foot in the early stages but they were yet to create clear-cut chances, with a couple of offside calls for Ashley Du Preez. After absorbing the pressure, Chippa gave Chiefs a scare on 25 minutes with their first attack after Meshack Maphangule had space in the box from a cut-back by Thabiso Lebitso but his low shot was straight at goalkeeper Brandon Petersen.
Arthur Zwane's charges increased the tempo of their game and Shabalala was unlucky not to break the deadlock a minute later with a first-time shot in the box that rattled the crossbar after a square pass by Christian Saile Basomboli. Chiefs continued to put the Chilli Boys under pressure and nearly forced an own goal on the stroke of half-time after Azola Ntsabo's scuffed clearance looped underneath the crossbar shot-stopper Lloyd Kazapua parried it over the top.1.
