After all, Chiefs have a realistic chance to finish second in the table, currently sitting just five points behind Royal AM, with two games in hand. Chiefs, however, will need to improve markedly if they are to make up ground on those above them. The appetite can only have been increased, meanwhile, by the long absence from the stands, with last weekend’s DStv Premiership games the first to welcome back fans.

Deano Van Rooyen struck to hand Arthur Zwane and Dillon Sheppard a first DStv Premiership defeat as Chiefs caretaker coaches.

Chiefs gave a first appearance of the season to Dumisani Zuma, and Zwane and Sheppard then brought on Kgaogelo Sekgota and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, in an attempt to find a way through the hosts.

Jabaar, 27. Mthethwa, 27. Stellies held on in the end to complete a league double over Chiefs for the first time in their history and moved up level on points with the Soweto giants on the log. However, Chiefs only came to life in the last quarter of an hour after the introduction of Kgaogelo Sekgota and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, with Billiat switched to a striker's role after Castro and Dolly were hauled off. Steve Barker's charges were frustrating Amakhosi with a low block and Zwane made a double change in the last 25 minutes, as Dumisani Zuma got his first appearance of the season in place of Radebe while Reeve Frosler replaced Mashiane, both for fresh legs. The game stretched in the dying minutes, as Nkosingiphile Ngcobo nearly snatched the equaliser with a curling strike towards the top corner that was acrobatically smothered by shot-stopper Sage Stephens. Chiefs continued to risk playing a high-line early in the second stanza and they almost went 2-0 down as Moseamedi beat the offside trap to go clear on goal but Petersen made a crucial save off his knee. The Amakhosi defence was caught for pace again six minutes later as Ashley Du Preez was unfortunate not to make it 2-0 for the hosts with a low strike that missed the target by a whisker after another through ball by Moseamedi. Chiefs were camped in Stellies' half in the opening exchanges but were caught by a long ball in the 19th minute after Judas Moseamedi slipped Dean van Rooyen through on goal in the box and the latter fired a low strike under goalkeeper Brandon Petersen, who should have done better. The visitors regrouped after that, having a better organisation out of position but were struggling to combine going forward, as Billiat had their only shot in anger that sailed wide just before the halftime break.
