Kaizer Chiefs could only manage a 0-0 draw in the second leg at FNB Stadium on Saturday night to follow their 1-0 away win, which was enough for Amakhosi to negotiate past PWD Bamenda in the 2020-21 Caf Champions League preliminary round.

Chiefs will now face Angola’s Primeiro de Agosto in the first round later this month and in early January for a place in the group stage.

Chiefs did manufacture a decent share of chances, though some slack finishing and PWD’s athletic goalkeeper Haschou Kerrido stood in the way of the Soweto giants adding to Erick Mathoho’s 83rd-minute winner on Sunday in Limbe, which also proved the deciding goal of the tie. Amakhosi were better organised, had the more cohesive build-ups, won the 50/50s and dominated possession and territory in a first half that was largely one-way traffic to the gold and black.

Khama Billiat’s chip across the area picked out the free head of central midfielder Anthony Akumu, who steered an attempted finish inches wide with the goal beckoning.Chiefs continued to pile on the pressure at the start of the second half, as Bernard Parker, in a combination with left-back Philani Zulu, burst through and just could not squeeze a cross past Kerrido.
