AmaZulu co-coach Arthur Zwane has commended his side for their showing against Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday.

Usuthu shared the spoils with Amakhosi after they played out to an entertaining 2-2 draw in the Betway Premiership.

AmaZulu duo of Tshepang Moremi and Elmo Kambindu saw their goals cancelled out by own goals from Ramahlwe Mphahlele and Richard Ofori.

The draw sees AmaZulu move up to seventh place on the log with 20 points from 16 matches, while Amakhosi remain in fifth place on the table with 22 points after 16 games.

‘To be honest at that moment when we were trailing, they could have scored two or three goals you know with ease, Ofori kept us in the game as much as he made mistakes that were costly but he kept us in the game, he did very well for me,” Zwane told SuperSport TV after the game.

“Second half we told them, ‘Listen, let them come, they are more frustrated now, we’re likely to win this game, because they will come in numbers and will leave a lot of spaces in the middle and at the back and that’s how we’re going to progress the ball from, the back.

“Second-half we were on par with them, we were even at some point better than them, we created a number of chances, as much as they created goal-scoring opportunities as well but I believe we could have, especially that one of Elmo could have been a winner for us.

“We’re a work in progress, we’re getting there steady but surely, I’m proud of the guys, I commend the effort today, they gave their all. A point playing away from home playing against a wounded Kaizer Chiefs is better than nothing.”

AmaZulu will be looking to bounce back when they face Marumo Gallants at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday evening.
