Amazulu beat Sivellele 2-0 in their Premier League match on Friday evening at Kings Park Stadium. The hosts took control early and never looked back, moving up to fourth place in the table. Sivellele remain rooted to the bottom half after another difficult outing.
And here's the thing — the opening goal came at the twenty-minute mark when M. Mbanjwa found the net. By then Sivellele had already seen T. Potsane booked for a rash challenge. Ngwenya doubled the lead within two minutes, scoring first at thirty-one then adding another at thirty-two.
The game opened up after half-time with several substitutions. Ngwenya came off at fifty-eight, replaced by O. Mdaka. Margeman and Pule both entered at seventy-two, while Sivellele switched three players around the eighty-fifth minute. Two more yellow cards fell to Mokhachane and Hlangabeza in the opening exchanges of the second period.
To be fair, the statistics told a familiar story. Sivellele dominated possession at sixty-four percent and completed 639 passes compared to Amazulu's 361. They created more attacks — 98 to 90 — but produced zero big chances. Amazulu, by contrast, registered four big chances and converted two. Shots accuracy favoured the hosts at fifty-six percent against thirty-seven percent.
The result leaves Amazulu with ten points after five games, sitting four places above their opponents. Sivellele's two points from five matches keeps them in fourteenth place, though they have dropped further behind the mid-table pack. The hosts have now won three of their five outings, while Sivellele have failed to secure a single victory this season.
