Kaizer Chiefs and TS Galaxy played out an entertaining 2-2 draw on Wednesday evening.

Ashley du Preez gave the home side the lead with their first chance on seven minutes after tucking home a through-ball by George Matlou.

Amakhosi old-boy Bernard Parker came back to haunt his old club, restoring parity in the 10th minute with a crucial touch close to the goal-line to deflect home a header in the box from a corner kick.

The Rockets completed the comeback in the 41st minute, when a long ball into the box found the towering Junior Traore, who powered a header past the stranded Bruce Bvuma in goal.
