COMING from a goal behind at the break, Thanda Royal Zulu equalised immediately after the restart but despite camping in Mthatha Bucks’ half for most of the second stanza, were unable to get the winning goal.

They had a dozen chances to break the deadlock in front of the passionate fans who filled the stands at the uMhlathuze Stadium on Sunday, but a combination of bad luck and dogged defending by the visitors kept the score at 1-1.

However, with nearest challengers Black Leopards having lost on Saturday, the Amabhubesi have stretched their lead at the top of the NFD log to eight points.
