It was on everybody's lips about whether it was going to happen or not, but the Amakhosi welcomed the league champions on the field with a guard of honour.

The draw did not help Chiefs' runners-up hopes, as they remained in fourth place on 43 points. Their next assignment will be against Sekhukhune United next Saturday at 3pm.

Sundowns' points tally moved up to 62 points as the club bides its time preparing for the Nedbank Cup final against Marumo Gallants at the end of the month, where a treble will be on the line. The next match on the menu will be against Stellenbosch FC, also on Saturday.
