Going into the contest, Sundowns needed Chiefs to slip up against Baroka and at least better the result on final day. The Brazilians however, sealed their fate of the league title following a Chiefs 1-1 draw away to Baroka.
Chiefs who at one time had 13 point lead missed out a chance to win the league title for the first time since the 2014/15 season.
Onyango who did not complete the campaign in goal due to injury was influential to his side’s unprecedented success.
