Chiefs Hold Sundowns

Premiership: Amakhosi Show Competitive Signs in Goalless Draw

- Jonty Mark

Kaizer Chiefs produced further evidence yesterday that they will be far more competitive this season, holding champions Mamelodi Sundowns to a goalless Betway Premiership draw at FNB Stadium.

Chiefs are the only side left in the Premiership not to have conceded a goal this season. They did lack a killer instinct and will hope a plethora of new attacking signings can improve this.

It is early days, but Sundowns look a shadow of the side that romped to the title last season. Miguel Cardoso will need to get much more out of his team if they are to win the league for the ninth season in a row.

A sell-out crowd of around 75,000 packed into the stadium, with midweek traffic chaos meaning kick-off was 15 minutes late.
