Black Leopards held Kaizer Chiefs to a 1-1 draw in their exciting Absa Premiership encounter at Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday.
Despite the share of the spoils, Chiefs remain top of the standings with an advantage of ten points and they remain firm favourites to lift the league championship at the end of the season.
While Chiefs remain at the top, Leopards have moved one place to 14th but their mission staying clear of the danger zone remains a momentous one. Leopards coach Cavin Johnson pinned his hopes on the experience of the likes of Khuliso Mudau, Thabo Matlaba, Edwin Gyimah, Robert N’gambi, Mwape Musonda and Mogakolodi Ngele.
With one of their early forward forays, Chiefs forced Leopards into a mistake when Robert N’gambi was judged by referee Luxolo Badi to have handled the ball outside the box from a shot by Bernard Parker after eight minutes. Chiefs continued to create scoring chances but their attackers in the form of Manyama, Leonardo Castro, Parker could not find their way past the alert Leopards goalkeeper Jonas Mendes.
