Chiefs claimed the first silverware of the season and the bragging rights by beating the Buccaneers 4-3 on penalties after the match ended in goalless stalemate after the regulation 90 minutes.

Chiefs could have won the game in the 65th minute, however, the former Free State Stars defender, Daniel Cardoso's penalty kick was saved.

Chiefs coach, Stuart Baxter, said he is happy with the performance of his new signings.

“This game was information for me. For the supporters we've got to win it, we get that and it's the old enemy so we always want to win.

“But this was about information moving forward.

“None of the new players disappointed me. They staked a claim. I'm happy with the evening's work and I think there are some shoots of green grass coming through.”

Last year the exhibition match was not played due to Covid-19. In 2019, the Buccaneers claimed the bragging rights with a 2-0 win.
