Whatever the plan was, it was hard to see. Amakhosi could barely consistently string a pass together. marc_strydom

Desperate, last-placed Maritzburg, had they had any real confidence and rhythm, might have capitalised on a Chiefs who sat too deep in the first half.

That seemed the biggest factor in the result, as a disjointed Chiefs, who did improve and put together a more coherent, structured attack in the second half, somewhat stumbled to this victory. Whatever the plan was, it was hard to see. Amakhosi could barely consistently string a pass together.First Leonardo Castro was able to turn and strike a solid shot at Richard Ofori, Bernard Parker hitting the rebound into the side-netting with the goalkeeper out of position.Bruce Bvuma - starting in goal ahead of Richard Akpeyi - had to palm out Emmanuel Ntiya-Ntiya's sliced clearance. The keeper was kept busy, also having to stop Fortune Makaringe's close-range shot.

Chiefs' second excellent opportunity came when Khama Billiat got on the end of George Maluleka's chip and headed over advancing Ofori. Nazeer Allie athletically cleared off the line, then got up and stopped again from Zuma's shot.
