Chiefs have now collected 34 points, equal with third placed Orlando Pirates trailing second-placed SuperSport United by just two points. This was the fourth match in a row for Chiefs to finish the game playing against ten players.The rookies started the season on fire and were always amongst the early pace setters in the league. But lately they have been struggling, not having won a single match in their past five encounters.
The visitors made only one change to the same side that played against Pirates, with Caleb Bimenyimana replacing the unavailable Ashley Du Preez upfront. The home side were reduced to ten men in the 18th minute after keeper Salim Magoola handled the ball outside the box. Referee Masixole Bambiso did not hesitate to issue a red card for the Ugandan keeper. Substitute keeper Neil Boschoff produced a brilliant save to deny Bimenyimana in the 34th minute.
Rookies ? 😂
