Luthuli had a couple of dangerous set pieces that gave SuperSport’s defence, marshalled by the experienced Thulani Hlatshwayo, some problems.
The Tshwane-based side could have easily headed to the halftime break well ahead as they had more than enough chances through players such as Grobler and Grant Margeman. Margeman, who is also on loan from Sundowns and put in a man of the match performance, was denied by the crossbar five minutes before the break.
Key changes in the middle of the park by Hunt that saw Thalente Mbatha replace Jamie Webber and Jesse Donn replaced by striker Thabang Sibanyoni early in the second half helped the side secure the point from the clash. Grobler, who missed most of last season’s second half due to injury, scored on 63 minutes after chaotic defending by Chippa.SuperSport Utd 1-1 Chippa UnitedOrlando Pirates 1-0 SwallowsSupport independent journalism by subscribing to the
