Mamelodi Sundowns remained unbeaten in the Betway Premiership after Antonio van Wyk scored deep into stoppage time to secure a 1-1 draw against Chippa United at KuGompo City on Saturday night.
Chippa took the lead in the 78th minute through Sirgio Kammies. The home side was then minutes away from handing the champions their first league defeat of the season before Van Wyk struck in the fifth minute of added time.
The match was played in wet conditions, with both teams forced to adjust their approach as the surface became increasingly difficult.
Sundowns’ late equaliser preserved their unbeaten start and kept them seven points clear of Orlando Pirates at the top of the standings. Pirates, however, have three matches in hand, leaving the early title picture open.
For Chippa, the result brought a point after a disciplined defensive display and a late push that had put them within reach of a significant home victory.
Sundowns now turn their attention to maintaining momentum as the domestic schedule continues, while Chippa will look to build on a performance that tested the league leaders until the final moments.
