It marked Lilepo's third league goal this season and Chiefs' first win since a 1-0 triumph over Marumo Gallants on January 28. The match was the only fixture in the league that day, drawing a subdued crowd amid drizzling weather.

They dominated possession in a sluggish first half but struggled to create clear chances, with final passes lacking precision and shots either off target or easily saved. Durban City, sitting sixth with 30 points from 18 games, defended resiliently, though they posed little threat, registering no shots on target...
