DStv Premiership: Thunder and lightning but no fireworks as Kaizer Chiefs held to draw by Moroka Swallows

Chiefs continued their goal drought in open play since the PSL resumed this year, despite a recent Nedbank Cup disappointment against Milford FC.

Coach Cavin Johnson’s line-up changes, including the return of Keagan Dolly, failed to spark a significant attacking threat from Amakhosi.

The game started lacklustre, with neither side able to break the deadlock. In the 29th minute, Ashley du Preez’s disallowed goal added to Chiefs’ frustration.

Early in the second half, Chiefs suffered a blow when Edmilson Dove was sent off.

The match was paused in the 57th minute due to heavy rain and lightning. Following deliberations, play resumed, but neither side could capitalise on chances.

With the clock ticking down, both teams had opportunities, but goalkeeper heroics ensured the game ended level.

The draw leaves Chiefs further away from the top of the standings in sixth position on 26 points, 16 points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
