CHIPPA UTD VS GOLDEN ARROWS | ABSA PREMIERSHIP

Competition: ABSA Premiership
Date: Sunday 21 December 2018
Venue: Nelson Mandela Bay
Kick-off: 15h30

We have drawn against Chippa United this afternoon at Nelson Mandela Bay in Port Elizabeth.

It was not an easy game,with the Chilli Boys throwing all they had at us from the opening minutes of the game. The first half saw them enjoy more shots on goal than we did, but the defensive play from us was solid at the back and didnt give them the space they needed to finish off properly.

We had only two shots at goal in the first 45, but they were on target, and Akpeyi made sure they were not allowed into the back of the net.

We made a slow start in the second half, but ended up showing a bit more domination of the ball. Coach Larson made a double sub, bringing on Shongwe and Magubane hoping to inject a bit of pace into the game. But this tactic unfortunately never paid off.

Both us and Chippa struggled with the final passes, and neither could get the break through we wanted. Chippa then brought the game to us in the last 10 minutes. We had to defend to deny them chances but managed to hold on for the draw.

We will return to Durban and prepare for a home encounter on Sunday as we face Baroka FC at Princess Magogo Stadium at 15:30
