AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy can now breathe after Usuthu beat Cape Town City 2-0 in a DStv Premiership match at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Sunday evening.
Zambian striker Augustine Mulenga, 31, netted twice in the first half. Mulenga scored his first goal in the 24th minute and completed his brace on the stroke of half-time.
Usuthu had only picked up a point in two matches before meeting the Citizens.
