The loss saw Usuthu go down to 14th place in the league standings with 15 points after 15 games.
“We let ourselves down, especially management, our supporters and the coach. I myself, as the captain, take full responsibility,” said Nyongo.

“I can assure all the AmaZulu family that we will sort this out as players.”
