Maritzburg United defeated rivals Royal AM 1-0 in the KwaZulu-Natal Dstv Premiership Derby at Harry Gwala Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Friday Samu scored the only goal of the day in the 22nd minute of the showdown.
Despite Maritzburg taking a lead, it was a fairly even contested first half.
The game went into the interval with the Team of Choice leading by 1-0.
But, the second half was a completely different story with John Maduka’s troops dominating their rivals with the hopes of levelling matters, however, it was never meant to be.
The Blue Army were not at their best but they still managed to secure a much-needed victory at home.
The victory sees Maritzburg move to 12th position on the table with 27 points, while Thwihli Thwahla remain at the second place with 45 points. They have each played 27 matches.
