AmaZulu and Kaizer Chiefs played out a thrilling 4-4 draw in the Betway Premiership, with AmaZulu's goalkeeper Richard Ofori committing a series of costly errors that led to Chiefs goals.
Amazulu faced Kaizer Chiefs in a thrilling Betway Premiership match at the FNB Stadium, ultimately sharing the spoils despite scoring all four goals. AmaZulu's goalkeeper, Richard Ofori, had a nightmarish performance, committing a series of costly errors that gifted Chiefs goals. In the first half, Ofori inexplicably mishandled a high ball crossed by Reeve Frosler, allowing debutant Tashreeq Morris to create a chaotic situation in the box.
Although AmaZulu captain Ramahlwe Mphahlele tried to clear the ball, it unfortunately ended up in his own net. The second half saw Ofori's struggles continue as he pushed a seemingly harmless ball into his own goal under pressure from Chiefs. Coach Arthur Zwane, who had recently left Chiefs for AmaZulu, showed understanding towards Ofori's blunders, acknowledging his valuable saves throughout the game. The match was a rollercoaster of emotions with both teams displaying attacking prowess. Chiefs opened the scoring with Mphahlele's own goal, but AmaZulu quickly retaliated through Tshepang Moremi, who was set up by Rowan Human. Usuthu took the lead on the hour mark with a headed goal by Namibian Elmo Kambindu. Chiefs, however, refused to back down, with Pule Mmodi narrowly missing a golden opportunity shortly after. Despite Ofori's continued errors, both teams fought valiantly for victory, creating numerous chances in the latter stages of the match. However, neither side could find the winning goal, resulting in a draw that left Chiefs frustrated despite their dominance in possession and scoring chances. The draw moved AmaZulu up to seventh place, while Chiefs remained in fifth. In other matches, Richards Bay secured a 2-0 victory over Gallants with late goals by Justice Figuareido and Ntlonelo Bomelo, and the clash between Magesi and Chippa United ended in a 1-1 draw before being suspended due to a power outage
