AmaZulu

Mbongeni Gumede scored a late winner as AmaZulu snatched all three points from their DStv Premiership clash against Swallows FC on Friday evening.

The Dube Birds’ turnaround was complete halfway through the second half as Allen converted a controversial penalty in the 64th minute. Swallows goalminder Mbanjwa was left embarrassed as he gifted AmaZulu the equaliser with a horrendous mistake in the 79th minute. The 29 year old had been a menace to Swallows up until that moment and he was rewarded as calmly lobbed the ball over Thakasani Mbanjwa in goal after being found by Keagan Buchanan with a beautiful pass over the defence.

An in-form AmaZulu FC side edged out Swallows FC in a five-goal thriller as they emerged 3-2 winners in a DStv Premiership match at the Dobsonville Stadium ...

The game started at a frantic pace with both teams on the front foot, looking for an early goal.

The goal was enough to win the game for Usuthu and earn them vital three away points. Mhango redeemed himself in the 24th minute when he cleverly lobbed the ball over Swallows goalkeeper Thakasani Mbanjwa to break the deadlock and gave AmaZulu the lead. Waseem Isaacs was presented with a glorious chance to put the Birds in the lead when he beat the offside trap and found himself on a one-on-one situation with Veli Mothwa, but AmaZulu goalkeeper was quick off his line to clear the danger.
