Luvuyo Memela scored on the stroke of half time to take AmaZulu two points clear at the top of the DStv Premiership table as they defeated neighbours Lamontville Golden Arrows 1-0 in one of the most highly-charged KwaZulu-Natal derbies in years.

Arrows had their moments, but these were not as sharp and close to finding the back of net as their neighbours. Veli Mothwa, in Usuthu’s goals, had little to do for most of the first 45 minutes in which Arrows striker Knox Mutizwa, Michael Gumede and Pule Mmodi had no break.

Arrows tried to up their game after the restart and hit the upright near the end, but it was still AmaZulu who looked more dangerous on transition after leaving all possession to the home side. Majoro should have doubled Usuthu’s lead in the 63rd minute when he broke through in one of those counterattacks but he shot wide with just Mlungwana to beat.

Having been the first team to reach 50 points this season and in their PSL history, where their previous best finish was seventh, Usuthu now have to earn positive results against Pirates, Swallows, Baroka and Maritzburg United to have a great chance to win their first league title in 49 years. Usuthu, who are on a 16-match unbeaten run, won the National Professional Soccer League League title in 1972 with the team that had the late Sugar Ray Xulu, Eric “Nduna kaNdaba” Ngidi and Frederick “The Cat” Mfeka starring for the Durban club. McCarthy, who is linked heavily with a move to Bafana Bafana, may well deliver that title for a club that last won a trophy in 1992.
