Chippa United vs Mamelodi Sundowns

Chippa United came agonizingly close to a landmark victory over Mamelodi Sundowns, only to be pegged back deep into stoppage time as the sides shared a 1-1 draw at a rain-soaked Buffalo City Stadium. On a heavy pitch, the hosts frustrated the reigning champions for long spells behind a disciplined defensive display marshalled by goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali. Substitute Sirgio Kammies broke the deadlock in the 78th minute, finishing off a pass from Khaya Mfecane just a minute after coming off the bench to send the home crowd into raptures. Sundowns pushed hard for an equalizer, with Grant Kekana's header saved by Nwabali, before Antonio van Wyk struck with virtually the last kick of the game in the 95th minute to snatch a share of the spoils. The result denied Chippa United what would have been their first-ever league win over Sundowns, extending their winless run this season, though the point offers some encouragement after a battling display. For Mamelodi Sundowns, it was a let-off that kept their unbeaten record intact but underlined a rare wobble in form after a run of five straight wins across competitions.
