Victory over Chippa takes Chiefs closer to lifting Absa Premiership spoils

In the penultimate round on Wednesday, none of the two favourites were prepared to give in as both Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns secured maximum points.

Both teams are currently tied on 56 points after 29 league outings. Amakhosi are at the summit by virtue of their superior goal difference. The Brazilians have amassed an identical number of points.

Sundowns were in the mood after dropping points against relegation threatened Baroka FC this past weekend. Amakhosi are just 90 minutes away from ending their longest barren of trophies. The return of Itumeleng Khune following the injury of Daniel Akpeyi propelled them into the winning ways.
