Kaizer Chiefs started the match on a strong foot and had their first effort in the game in the opening three minutes.

The pressure from the Glamour Boys paid off in the 13th minute after Gaston Sirino fired a rocket shot past Stanley Nwabali. It was the former Mamelodi Sundowns star's second goal for Chiefs since joining them last summer.

Tashreeq Morris was close to adding the second for the Soweto giants in the 22nd minute, but his effort was comfortably saved by the Chippa United goalkeeper.

The former SuperSport United striker called Nwabali into action seven minutes later, and the Nigerian international made another good save to deny the Amakhosi new signing.

The first half ended with Kaizer Chiefs being the better side, and they went into the dressing room with a 1-0 lead.

Bruce Bvuma had a lot to do in terms of saves in the second half, and kept Nasreddine Nabi's side's lead before they doubled their lead.
