Mamelodi Sundowns entered the halftime break leading Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in the second leg of their MTN8 semi-final.
Sundowns recalled Mosa Lebusa and Grant Kekana in places of the suspended Khuliso Mudau and Mothobi Mvala as the only two changes from their win over Orlando Pirates. Chiefs, meanwhile, brought back goalkeeper Brandon Petersen, Reeve Frosler, Tebogo Potsane and Pule Mmodi as four changes from their loss against SuperSport United.
The Brazilians had a dream start after Shalulile gave them the lead in just ten seconds and made it 2-1 on aggregate after the Namibian dispossessed Petersen in a high press and scored into a gaping net from a tight angle. Rulani Mokwena's charges had plenty of the ball after that but Chiefs should have equalised on 16 minutes after Ashley Du Preez raced clear on goal from a through ball but he fired his shot high and wide in a one-on-one with goal Ronwen Williams.
The Glamour Boys started pressurizing Sundowns and were awarded a penalty on the half-hour mark after a handball by Sipho Mbule from successive corners. Du Preez stepped up and equalised for Chiefs with a composed finish. Shalulile restored the lead for for hosts on the stroke of halftime with a free header at the back post after a lofted cross by Lucas Ribeiro Costa.30. Williams, 20. Kekana, 5. Lebusa, 13.
