Bidvest Wits’s poor start to the season is turning into a nightmare, the Absa Premiership champions capitulating to a dramatic 3-0 defeat against AmaZulu at King Zwelithini Stadium on Wednesday night. An at-times ill-tempered match saw AmaZulu midfielder Michael Morton red-carded in the 71st minute. By that stage, though, Wits’s evening had capitulated to a stunning strike by Morton in the 11th minute; a poorly awarded penalty scored by Rhulani Manzini in the 60th; and a second Manzini strike in the 62nd. Morton’s early strike put Wits under pressure. Probing around the edge of, and into, Wits’s area, Usuthu met with a solid defence. A half-clearance fell to Morton six metres outside the penalty box. He controlled and struck a beautiful drive into the top-right corner.
