But his tame angled shot found the net off the right glove of South Africa reserve goalkeeper Veli Mothwa to the dismay of AmaZulu. The rest of added time passed without any goalmouth incidents and victory took Sundowns five points clear of Orlando Pirates and Richards Bay as they chase a record sixth straight title. Themba Zwane, recalled by South Africa for friendlies against Sierra Leone and Botswana this month, struck the crossbar in the opening half for 2016 African champions Sundowns. Ronwen Williams, the first choice South Africa goalkeeper, then denied AmaZulu by pulling off two superb saves in quick succession before half-time.
