A poor mistake by Akpeyi seven minutes into the second half gifted Mekoa the ball inside the box and he made no mistake with an empty net at his mercy, 1-0.
Chippa began to mount a comeback and came close to scoring in the 73rd minute when Bongani Kama met a free-kick into the box by Marc van Heerden, but his header struck the crossbar.
Two minutes later Chippa did find the equaliser when Thembinkosi Lorch headed home a pin-point cross from Van Heerden, 1-1.
Both sides pushed hard for
a winner in the final minutes of the match, but neither could find the
back of the net as the match ended 1-1.
