CUTHBERT Malajila's late goal scuppered AmaZulu's top-eight Premiership chances and earned Maritzburg United a share of the spoils, courtesy of a 1-1 scoreline in the KwaZulu-Natal derby at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg last night

Goodman Dlamini scored in first-half stoppage time to put the visitors in charge as they looked to be heading towards a victory that would have propelled them into sixth place on the log. But in injury time, Malajila pounced to score a third goal in four games and secure a point that now mathematically assured the home side of their top-flight status.
