While Amakhosi were coming into this game on the back of a strong 2-0 victory over Stellenbosch, Rise and Shine were held to a 0-0 stalemate with Magesi.
Siphesihle Ndlovu scored the only goal of this game after 79 minutes when it looked like the match was heading for a draw.
Chiefs boss Nasreddine Nabi refreshed his starting line up with Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Wandile Duba and Gaston Sirino all starting at the FNB Stadium.
But it was the travelling team who started the livelier of the two sides with Manuel Kambala testing Amakhosi goalkeeper Brandon Petersen early on with a shot from range.
Sirino then fired a free-kick on the edge of the City area wide of the target, before Petersen got down low to make a good stop to deny Mokibelo Ramabu from a set piece.
Brian Bwire was well placed to deny Glodly Lilepo with 28 minutes on the clock, while Chiefs created their best chance of the first half with ten minutes remaining as Lilepo powered a header against the crossbar.
The second half saw the introduction of Nkosingiphile Ngcobo for Mduduzi Shabalala for Chiefs in a bid to impact the game.
