Kaizer Chiefs lost more ground on the Betway Premiership frontrunners after being held to a 0-0 draw by struggling Siwelele at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday, October 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amakhosi were seeking their first win in four games, having played out to a 1-1 draw with AmaZulu most recently on October 1, while Siwelele looked to build on their 1-0 victory over Marumo Gallants three days earlier which lifted them off the foot of the table up to 14th position.The first half was a tug-of-war for possession, but Kaizer Chiefs looked the sharper outfit \u2014 like a team that just needed one good bounce to find the net.
Siwelele came out swinging early, testing Brandon Petersen twice \u2014 once with a tame effort and again with a close-range strike that had him stretching like a yoga instructor at sunrise.
Chiefs weren\u2019t about to be outdone, though, as Mduduzi Shabalala\u2019s long-range rocket made Ricardo Goss earn his paycheck, while young Mfundo Vilakazi curled one just wide to keep the crowd buzzing.
Reeve Frosler fancied himself a highlight-reel hero just before halftime but sent his shot into the stands, while Zitha Kwinika followed suit early in the second half \u2014 more frustration than finesse.
Makabi Lilepo\u2019s halftime cameo promised spark but delivered smoke, blasting over when he really should\u2019ve hit the target.
Frosler kept knocking, finally forcing a decent save from Goss in the 71st minute after a couple of earlier misses that probably still haunt the corner flag.
Siwelele almost spoiled the party moments later when Chibuike Ohizu nearly stole it with a header, only for Petersen to come flying across goal like a man possessed.
Both teams huffed and puffed in the dying minutes, but neither could blow the other\u2019s house down \u2014 just plenty of running, sliding, and \u201calmosts.\u201d
In the end, it finished 0\u20130 at the FNB Stadium \u2014 a match full of effort, sweat, and suspense, but no goals to show for it\u2026 unless you count the ones missed by a few inches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
