Kaizer Chiefs and Royal AM lived up to expectations when they wrapped the DStv Diski Challenge festival with a six-goal thriller at Princess Magogo Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The two sides were meeting for the fourth time in the history of the Diski Challenge and sparks were expected to fly as they went into this game having produced 14 goals in their past three meetings.
It was no different this time around as they played to an entertaining 3-3 draw on the day.
Chiefs took the lead three times on the day and Royal AM were able to level matters on all three occasions.
Puso Dithejane, Wandile Duba and Donay Jansen scored for Amakhosi while Royal AM’s goals came from Bandile Dlamini, Philani Sithebe and an own goal that was scored by Sampson Jordan.
The results leave Royal AM in sixth on the log with 11 points from eight games while the Amakhosi are seventh with the same number of points from eight games.
Early on Sunday, Richards Bay FC also played to a thrilling 2-2 draw against Marumo Gallants.
The impressive Sibusiso Nkosi netted a brace to put Gallants in the lead heading to the break. In the second half, the tables were turned as the Rich Boys were able to bounce back and scored two goals through the man of the match Lwandle Mabuya and Mfundo Ngema to secure a point.
