Kaizer Chiefs were held to a 1-1 draw by Baroka FC in their DStv Premiership clash at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday.
Amakhosi were in good form heading into the contest as they had won three of their last four matches but came up against a determined Baroka outfit.
Thamsanqa Masiya had given Bakgakga the lead early in the second half but a Goodman Mosele own goal made sure Chiefs took a point.
The first half was devoid of any proper goal attempts with Reeve Frosler having the best chance, but he hit his volley wide when he perhaps had more time in the penalty area that he thought.
Ananias Gebhardt had an opportunity for Baroka, but he sent his header over the top of Daniel Akpeyi's goal.
The visitors did find the first goal in the 53rd minute when a long ball from goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke was flicked on by Evidence Makgopa and Thamsanqa Masiya ghosted through the Chiefs defence to find the back of the net.
Gavin Hunt threw on Leonardo Castro to partner Samir Nurkovic with 30 minutes to play and the forward's introduction certainly gave the Soweto giants another dimension in attack.
Castro headed wide from a Lebogang Manyama cross in the 70th minute and the striker went close again thereafter but was denied by Masuluke.
Amakhosi's persistence finally paid off with 14 minutes remaining as Frosler's dangerous cross was turned into his own net by Mosele.
Chiefs pressed for the winner as Baroka started to look jaded, but Castro hit a curling effort wide and Anthony Akumu had shot deflected over the over the crossbar late on.
