Johannesburg - A wasteful Kaizer Chiefs were held to a second Premiership draw in a row by Polokwane City at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday night.

Bernard Parker and Mandla Masango missed glaring opportunities while Kingston Nkhatha put himself in pole-position for miss of the season when he somehow failed to tap home a cross from Siphiwe Tshabalala in the second half.

Not only were Chiefs careless, but the Soweto team also had man-of-the-match Brilliant Khuzwayo to thank for keeping a clean-sheet and salvaging a point against a Polokwane outfit determined to frustrate their visitors.

The log-leaders dropped points for a second time in three days after a 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.

Ajax Cape Town now have the chance to reduce Chiefs' lead to nine points with a win against Bloemfontein Celtic on Wednesday evening.

Chiefs are still unbeaten after 12 league games, but have drawn three times, courtesy of Tuesday's goal-shy display.
