Following that defeat to Sundowns, Chiefs needed a response if they were going to reshape their campaign. Coach Stuart Baxter, meanwhile, made two changes, with Petersen and Ngcobo replacing Bruce Bvuma and Austin Dube.
Chiefs, though, responded with a baptism of fire against a Royal AM defence that was enduring a nervy start. Khama Billiat should have found the match opener, but his side footed low effort rolled past the far post of Hugo Nyame. But it was Alexander who missed a shot that they’d go on to regret in the first half. Against the run of play, Billiat set free the latter who was one-on-one with Nyame. But Alexander unceremoniously put his last effort wide of an open net.
Royal AM were unfortunate not to head to the interval with a two-goal cushion. On the edge of the penalty, Mashiane laid the ball nicely for Tebogo Potsane but his high-flying shot was exceptionally parried over the crossbar by Petersen.
