In the opening half hour, Sekhukhune United tried to find their opener, when Nkanyiso Madonsela’s cross found Charlton Mashumba, but he failed to direct his header on target.
The Eastern Cape based outfit, also tried their luck, when Toaster Nsabata tried to find back of the net before the halftime break, but his attempt went wide.
Siphesihle Mkhize found space on the edge of the area before taking aim at goal, but the Zambian shot-stopper made a comfortable save.
Good interplay between the in-form Bienvenu Eva Nga and Sizwe Mdlinzo led to a good chance for the latter just after the hour mark, but he failed to beat Nsabata.

“We played a good game, and this one became the most crucial one. I am happy for my boys that we walked away with a point, although we came for three points,” said Makhubedu.
