SuperSport United extended their unbeaten run in the Betway Premiership to three matches after a goalless draw with Chippa United on Tuesday evening. The match, played at Lucas Moripe Stadium, saw both teams struggle to find the back of the net, resulting in a point apiece for both sides.
SuperSport came into the match in good form, having secured a win and a draw in their previous two games. Coach Gavin Hunt fielded a strong lineup, including star players like Bradley Grobler and Teboho Mokoena, hoping to continue their positive momentum.
Chippa United, determined to spoil SuperSport’s run, defended well and pressed high when they had the ball. While both teams had some attacking opportunities, neither was able to score, as both defenses held firm throughout the 90 minutes.
SuperSport dominated possession and controlled the game’s tempo, consistently pushing forward. However, Chippa’s defense remained organized, and goalkeeper Ismail Watenga made key saves to deny the home side any goals. SuperSport’s goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams, also remained alert when needed, ensuring his side kept a clean sheet.
The match became a tactical battle, with both teams unable to break through the other’s defense. SuperSport struggled to find a way past Chippa’s disciplined backline, while Chippa’s counterattacks failed to make an impact. The lack of clinical finishing from both sides ultimately led to a 0-0 draw.
Although SuperSport may have been disappointed not to secure all three points, they will be encouraged by their continued unbeaten streak. The result extends their run without a loss to three matches, helping them maintain momentum in the league.
Coach Gavin Hunt expressed his disappointment at not securing a win but highlighted the importance of the unbeaten record. “It’s frustrating not to score, especially since we had chances, but we remain unbeaten, and that’s important,” Hunt said after the match. “We need to improve our finishing, but the team gave a solid performance, and we’ll take the point.”
With their unbeaten streak intact, SuperSport United will now turn their focus to their upcoming matches, aiming to improve their attacking play and continue their climb up the league standings.
