Azola Tshobeni forced an early save from Milford goalkeeper Lungile Nkosi before Sicelo Masilela sent a long-range effort narrowly wide at the opposite end.

Chippa were the stronger side after the interval. Justice Figuareido passed up a promising opening, while Muzomuhle Khanyi struck the post as the hosts pushed for their first league win of the season.

The result left Chippa winless after five matches, with four points from four draws. Milford moved to eight points after six outings.
Sekhukhune United and TS Galaxy also settled for a 0-0 draw at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in the day’s late fixture.
