DDC: Chiefs & Stellenbosch share spoils as Downs beat AmaZulu
Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC shared the spoils in the DDC on Sunday while Mamelodi Sundowns secured their fourth victory of the season.
In a festival that was held at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday, the Brazilians triumphed over AmaZulu FC with a score of 1-0, thanks to a first-half goal from Kabelo Mokoele.
This victory marked the fourth for the Tshwane giants in their current campaign, having played six matches, with two losses recorded.
Meanwhile, Usuthu suffered their first defeat of the season, having previously drawn three matches and secured two wins.
Masandawana now sit second on the league standings with 12 points accumulated from six league games while AmaZulu are in sixth position with nine points from the same number of games.

The Cape Winelands side, on the other hand, occupy third place with 11 points.
