In injury time, Maritzburg substitute Amadou Soukouna went down challenged by Downs keeper Kennedy Mweene and slotted the resultant 92nd-minute penalty for a last-gasp winner. “We were more expecting to get our three points last week against Golden Arrows here in a derby at home [a 2-1 defeat on February 25], but it didn't work out [that way].
“But, as we have seen, with a certain way to play, a certain way to set up, plus the hard work plus the moments of luck, we should be happy to have the three points.
