Ryan Moon and Lehlohonolo Majoro netted for Chiefs and Wits respectively with superbly-taken headers, but both sides had chances to score further goals.

“It is crazy, I have been happy with our performances the whole season, but this is why we are where we are, because of missed opportunities,” said Hunt.
“We defended crosses poorly and in instances had terrible lapses of concentration,” said Komphela.
