first-half deficit to draw 1-1 with Free State Stars at a packed
Charles Mopeli Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
Once again the saviour for the Amakhosi was evergreen midfielder John
"Shoes" Moshoeu, who scored the equalising goal in the 68th minute
from a smartly-taken free-kick.
A determined Stars opened the score in the 16th minute through
Mohlolo Lhlapo after looking the more dangerous and purposeful team
in the early exchanges - with a long-range shot giving Rowen
Fernandez in the Chiefs' goal little chance.
Chiefs settled down in the second half and had Stars under
constant pressure before Moshoeu finally produced the vital
equaliser.
The draw enables Chiefs to climb to top position in the log with
four points from two games, but their main rivals have played fewer
games and Amakhosi will need to show improved form to stay at the
top.
