Chiefs drafted Yusuf Maart back into the line-up after he returned from suspension, with Siyethemba Sithebe dropping to the bench as the only change from their win over Stellenbosch.
Amakhosi had a dream start as Ashley Du Preez opened the scoring within six minutes from the first whistle, with a low strike across goal after he raced through on goal from a defence splitting pass by Maart. Arthur Zwane's charges pressed Gallants high and they should have doubled their lead on 17 minutes after Du Preez intercepted a headed back pass by Tshepo Gumede in the box but his back-heel towards goal lacked power and was gathered by goalkeeper Washington Arubi.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa got into the game after that, with a couple of threats and Ranga Chivaviro eventually pulled them level nine minutes before the interval with a neat finish past goalkeeper Brandon Petersen at his near post after he out-muscled Edmilson Dove off the ball. The Glamour Boys had the momentum towards the interval as Maart came close to restoring their lead with a rocket from outside of the box that was bravely punched away by Arubi.
