This was a much-welcomed win for Chiefs' fans as their team had taken up residence at the bottom of the log and the real threat of relegation was breathing down their necks.
After 21 matches without a loss, the Sundowns were stunned after the Chiefs pulled out all the stops and went the whole nine yards.
The Brazilians thought they had the match in the bag after Gaston Sirino took the lead in the 35th minute. However, Mosa Lebusa handed the Chiefs a point with an own goal.
The Chiefs seized the opportunity and took the lead after a goal from Dumisani Zuma in the 74th minute.
We are sure that Gavin Hunt is relieved after his team rose to the challenge.
