It seemed like another tale of wasted chances in defeat was playing out for Amakhosi, after Samukele Kabini's header had given Galaxy a first-half lead.
But substitute Happy Mashiane's corner cannoned back off the bar.

It was Amakhosi's defence that was busier than the home side's in the first-half.
Centre back Inacio Miguel had a good first couple of games in a Kaizer Chiefs shirt, but has since served two separate suspensions.
And the Angolan was worryingly shaky in Mbombela.
