Luvuyo Memela's helps AmaZulu to first Champions League group stage win over Horoya AC

Durban - AmaZulu got their CAF Champions League campaign back on track with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Guinea football giants Horoya AC at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Friday night.

Usuthu took the lead after the half hour mark through Luvuyo Memela. Augustine Mulenga made a trademark precise cross into the path of Memela but the veteran produced a delightful turn which left the Horoya defenders and goalkeeper dumbfounded before scoring.

Had the Durban based side been more alert and taken their chances better, they could have been ahead by more than one goal going into half-time.

Just two minutes before the goal, Horoya goalkeeper Moussa Camara was guilty of an embarrassing error as he passed the ball to opposition attacker Xola Mlambo. Mlambo responded with an embarrassing mistake of his own as he passed to the obviously offside Abraham Majok leading to an Usuthu chance being wasted.
