Ernst Middendorp's side tops the standings after the first quarter with 19 points from their opening eight league matches. 

Sundowns finished two points behind Chiefs from the same number of games and consequently failed to topple their title rivals. 

The PSL announced Amakhosi will pocket R1.5 million in prize money for their efforts in the first quarter of the season. 

As things stand, the Soweto giants lead the overall standings with 31 points from 12 league games. 

They are 10 points clear of second-placed SuperSport United and third-placed Sundowns with less than 19 league games to go before the end of the current season.
