Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya’s fourth-minute finish secured a vital 1-0 away win for AmaZulu FC against Polokwane City on Saturday. The three points lift Usuthu to third in the Betway Premiership, level on 16 points with Orlando Pirates and keeping their title push firmly alive.
Ngwenya struck early at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, converting a pass from N. Radebe to settle the contest. It was the striker’s eighth goal of the season in just seven appearances, underlining his importance to the team’s strong start. The result extends AmaZulu’s winning run to three matches and confirms their position among the league’s leading pack.
Polokwane City, who dropped to eighth after the defeat, struggled to create clear chances against a disciplined AmaZulu defence. The visitors managed the game effectively after taking the lead, seeing out the victory to move to 16 points from seven games. Their recent form reads four wins from their last five outings.
With leaders Mamelodi Sundowns four points ahead, every win is key. The team will aim to build on this momentum when they travel to face Durban City on 16 October, a fixture that will test their ability to maintain their impressive form away from home.
