AmaZulu FC beat Siwelele FC 2-0 in the Premier Soccer League, taking the points despite seeing far less of the ball. Two goals in eleven first-half minutes decided the contest.
Mondli Mbanjwa opened the scoring in the 20th minute, converting Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya's assist. Ngwenya then made it 2-0 in the 31st minute, with Nkosikhona Radebe the provider. Yellow cards were shown to Tebogo Potsane, Neo Mokhachane and Siyanda Hlangabeza.
The underlying numbers tell a strange story: Siwelele had 65% possession and 18 shots to AmaZulu's 9, yet AmaZulu's expected goals were 2.15 against Siwelele's 0.80. AmaZulu created four big chances, scored two, and their goalkeeper made six saves. They were outplayed on the ball but far more clinical in front of goal.
