  • Amazulu and Stellenbosch's DStv Premiership match at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Wednesday night did not disappoint
  • Usuthu and Stellies played out a highly entertaining 2-2 draw, a game in which the Maroons took the lead twice
  • However, the home side showed the sort of resilience that has seen them performing well at home and on the continent

Stellenbosch struck twice with goals from Ashley du Preez and new Venezuelan recruit Juan Ortiz. Matar Ceesay and Thembela Sikhakhane hit back for Amazulu.

The draw kept the Maroons in fifth place on the log, while Usuthu moved up to sixth place, two points behind the visitors.

Du Preez' opener came in the 29th minute, before Ceesay levelled matters in the 34th minute. The see-sawing battling then saw Ortiz striking on the hour mark, until Sikhakhane dragged Amazulu back into the match with a 76th minute equaliser to set up an exciting finish.

AmaZulu again pushed on from scoring an equaliser to have the greater momentum in what remained of the game, but ultimately the final whistle saw the score locked at two goals apiece.

The teams will return to DStv Premiership action this coming weekend, with AmaZulu visiting SuperSport United on Saturday afternoon and Stellenbosch away to Marumo Gallants the following day.

AmaZulu: Mothwa, Sikhakhane (Moleko 86’), Gumede, Xoki, Zulu, Moremi (De Jong 58’), Buchanan (Mlambo 58’), Makhaula, Memela (Majok 58’), Ceesay, Mthembu (Ntuli 74’)

Stellenbosch: Stephens, van Rooyen, Kwinika, Mcaba, van Heerden, Dimgba (Scott 73’), Mthethwa, Jabaar (Adams 90+3’), Mendieta (Khunyedi 85’), du Preez (van Wyk 85’), Ortiz
