Chiefs made three changes from their narrow win over Marumo Gallants, as Leonardo Castro and Cole Alexander were recalled alongside a first start for Lazarous Kambole while Sundowns brought back Mosa Lebusa and Andile Jali and gave Divine Lunga a rare start.
Before the encounter got underway, the Soweto giants gave the newly crowned DStv Premiership champions their guard of honour as Sekhukhune United did on Tuesday. Amakhosi were quick to press the Brazilians in the opening exchanges and Khama Billiat had a big chance to open the scoring in the eighth minute after a cross by Castro but he guided his shot wide unmarked at the back post.
The visitors were not in a rush to get forward, getting only half-chances and Chiefs had more spaces to attack on transitions, as they had a big chance just before the half-hour mark but Lebusa denied Castro a tap-in at the near post with a crucial tackle. However, Sundowns came the closest to breaking the deadlock ten minutes before the halftime break after Shalulile connected with Aubrey Modiba's cross but goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma showed great reflexes to tip over the crossbar.44.
