Substitutes Knowledge Musona and Chippa Nhleko kept Chiefs on the
attack, but while a few scoring chances were created it never looked as
if one would be put away.
Siphiwe Tshabalala’s attempt in the final minute crashed off the woodwork and some may feel Amakhosi deserved a goal given their late attack. Sadly, the match needed somebody to put his hand up and take responsibility.
Abia Nale, Siphiwe Tshabalala and Musona looked the liveliest in attack for Chiefs while Thulasizwe Mbuyane threatened on occasion for Bucs. But on both sides, the final pass was just not good enough and genuine creativity was lacking.
The first half was very scrappy with both sides giving away possession and neither able to get into any type of rhythm.
Chiefs’ best scoring attempts of the first half came when Reneilwe Letsholonyane let rip from distance with his left, but Moeneeb Jospehs tipped it over the bar for a corner.
From the resultant kick, Kaizer Motaung Jnr got a slight touch with his head, the ball fell to Thomas Sweswe at the back post, but couldn’t keep his left-footed volley down.
Bennet Chenene, Mbuyane and Lucky Lekgwathi (from a free kick) came closest for Pirates.
