Bongani Ndulula’s crisp finish midway through the first half was enough to send AmaZulu joint-top of the Premiership table after a narrow 1-0 victory over Moroka Swallows at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday.
The striker scored crashed home from eight yards out, after 23 minutes, when he collected a low left-sided cross from the persistent Nkosinathi Mthiyane to help Usuthu make it three wins from four games this season.
Their nine-point total put them alongside SuperSport United on the summit, although they do have an inferior goal difference to the Pretoria outfit, who have a game in hand which they play on Sunday.
The hosts were almost off to a flier on a warm evening in the coastal city, but Ndulula hurriedly pushed his shot wide from the centre of the six-yard box after collecting a short pass from Mohammed-Awal Issah. – Sapa
