Amakhosi looked to have the three points in the bag, but Wits dogged attitude paid off

Kaizer Chiefs spurned the chance for a six-point lead at the top of the Premier Soccer League, as they allowed Cole Alexander an 89th-minute equaliser for Bidvest Wits to salvage a 1-1 draw at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday.

But tenacious Wits clawed an equaliser through Alexander and Amakhosi had to be content to maintain a four-point advantage over Mamelodi Sundowns with the second-placed reigning champions having played a game less.Whatever Chiefs did in their Zoom and Pilates sessions at home, and return to training, it must have been good. At times they looked as though they had not been off the field for five months.

Faced with a near-polished Amakhosi, Wits lifted themselves to land punches the other way and scramble a share of the spoils. Chiefs took the lead from a corner by Lebogang Manyama, to striker Nurkovic, who got up perfectly and nod past Goss.
