Kaizer Chiefs player ratings vs Golden Arrows: CBD combination stands out

Not directly at fault for either goal, but put Njabulo Ngcobo under pressure with a pass that led to the first, and was beaten at his near post for the second.

Struggled at times with the pace of the Arrows defence but had a reasonable game before being subbed on the hour mark.

A mixed afternoon - at times he too struggled with Arrows' pace and skill, but for the most part, it was a committed and commanding display.

Made some good challenges in the opening half, but it was his mistake which led directly to first goal and things went badly downhill from then.

A quiet game, not much was seen of Frosler on attack and he too found it difficult to deal with Abafana bes'Thende's wide men.

Had his moments, and played his part in Chiefs' goal, but he drifted in and out the game and was subbed on the hour mark.

Grafted hard but didn't create much going forward, and was one of several Chiefs midfielders over-run by Arrows in the second half

Chiefs looked shaky in midfield after Blom was moved to right-back in the second half - testament to his good work in the engine room. Was also solid in defence - most of Arrows attacks came down the other flank.

Had some nice moments, worked hard, was at the heart of everything - but was not quite as influential as Chiefs would have liked in terms of chances in and around goal.

Intelligent, industrious, energetic, Billiat took his goal brilliantly and remains Chiefs' best bet to get on the score-sheet.

Combined superbly with former Mamelodi Sundowns team-mates Billiat and Dolly and assisted delightfully for Billiat's goal. Worked hard as the target man.

Baccus came on for Mphahlele in the 58th minute but struggled to assert himself at a time in which Arrows took control of the game.

Zuma played 32 minutes after replacing Nkosingiphile Ngcobo. He had one or two promising moments, including a shot on goal.

Replaced Castro in the 72nd minute but looked uninspired with some unsure touches.
