HT: Chiefs 0-0 Arrows, Wasting Chances!
Kaizer Chiefs went into the halftime break goalless against Golden Arrows, but they have passed up some good chances.
Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko was handed his official debut for the Soweto giants after missing the win over Kruger United last weekend, while Wandile Duba was rewarded with following his heroics off the bench in the opening game.
Fernando da Cruz’s started the encounter in similar fashion to last week’s contest, with Luke Baartman and Mfundo Vilakazi looking to penetrate on the respective flanks, as the former had a big chance on 14 minutes but he was denied by a fine save by goalkeeper Edward Maova.
Baartman remained a threat as the first half went on as he carved the biggest chance before the 30-minute mark when he teed up Ngcobo in the six-yard area, however the latter sent his effort well over the crossbar with only Maova to beat.
Arrows, meanwhile, put up a lot more resistance than Kruger did as they managed to trouble Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen, who was called upon to keep out powerful efforts from distance although the visitors were let down by their decision in the 18-yard area.
Da Cruz would not have been happy going to the dressing room without a goal, as Ngcobo passed up another big chance before the halftime break after being set up by Duba in a similar chance to his first, but he ended up firing straight Maova while Baartman fired into the side-netting on the rebound.
