Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya of AmaZulu challenged by Sihle Nduli of Orlando Pirates during Betway Premiership match at Kings Park Stadium.
ORLANDO Pirates and AmaZulu compromised their positions at the top of the log when they played to a 1-1 draw in the Betway Premiership encounter at the Kings Park Stadium on Wednesday night.
Pirates took the lead with a Tshepang Moremi strike early in the first half, before Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya equalised from the penalty spot at the stroke of half time.
Virtually unknown in South African football, Usuthu goalkeeper Faveur Kouassi raised eyebrows in a wrong way when he parried a relatively harmless shot into the path of oncoming Pirates attackers in the box.
That was all it took for the ball to find its way to Tshepang Moremi’s feet, and he slotted home to hand Pirates the lead, breaking the hearts of his former club. One thing is for sure: the 23-year-old Ivorian goalkeeper will face intense scrutiny going forward in his debut season in South Africa.
