On Sunday, Chiefs’ campaign in the Betway Premiership took another frustrating turn when their struggles in front of goal resurfaced. They were held to a goalless draw by TS Galaxy in Mbombela — a result that should ideally have yielded three points with better execution in the final third.

After 13 Premiership games, the team continues to grapple with a striking conundrum: it has scored just 13 goals. Four of those goals came in an early November 4-1 win over Orbit. The Chiefs squandered multiple scoring opportunities on Sunday, underscoring the desperate need for more clinical finishing.
