A pulsating 1-0 Soweto derby victory against Orlando Pirates – though one where Chiefs rode their luck – here last Saturday confounded predictions of Chiefs’ title chase cracking.
Bonginkosi Ntuli’s 44th-minute winner secured a vital three points for Usuthu in caretaker-coach Ayanda Dlamini’s first game.
This match was an opportunity to ram home the advantage against a team whose head coach, Jozef Vukusic, was put on special leave this week. Kearyn Baccus, George Maluleka, Lebogang Manyama and Anthony Akumu – in for injured Willard Katsande – are all central midfielders to some degree now. Emboldened by static Chiefs, Usuthu managed a goal. Talent Chawapiwa skilfully created space on the left and chipped across the box to find Ntuli free for a simple tap-in past Daniel Akpeyi.
