AmaZulu coach singles out Memela for praise after Orlando Pirates draw

AmaZulu head coach Ayanda Dlamini was especially pleased with the contribution made by Luvuyo Memela in the 1-1 draw with Orlando Pirates on Saturday night at the Kings Park Stadium in Durban.

In a tightly-contested encounter, Pirates scored first through a penalty by Gabadinho Mhango in the 18th minute although replays showed that the spot-kick should not have been awarded as the incident happened outside of the box.

Fifteen minutes later, however, the scores were levelled when Lehlohonolo Majoro scored on the rebound after Wayne Sandilands had initially kept out his penalty.

It had been Memela who had earned the spot-kick after he drew a foul from Bucs midfielder Fortune Makaringe.
