Amazulu Are A Work In Progress But Need To Learn Fast, Says Arthur Zwane

AmaZulu always faced an uphill task against Mamelodi Sundowns, and their failure to be clinical in execution only made things worse, squandering a chance to make inroads into the Top 3.

Second-half goals from Peter Shalulile and Arthur Sales handed Sundowns a 2-0 win over Usuthu, with the KwaZulu-Natal outfit suffering their first loss in four matches and missing out on a chance to move into third, as Stellenbosch played out a 0-0 draw with Orlando Pirates.

Nevertheless, fourth place remains a strong possibility for Arthur Zwane and his charges despite their disappointing loss to the Brazilians.

The need to shake off this defeat will be crucial as they next welcome TS Galaxy to King Zwelithini Stadium on Friday 7.30pm kick-off. With the Rockets having claimed all three points in the first leg thanks to a Puso Dithejane strike in the 75th minute, Zwane has his work cut out to ensure his side gains an advantage over a direct competitor for a Top 4 spot.

Speaking after the loss to the defending league champions, Zwane lamented his sides missed opportunities and urged them to find the consistency needed to remain competitive in the league.
