Amazulu Keep Survival Hopes Alive with Crucial Win in South African PSL
While the top spots in South Africa’s Premier Soccer League (PSL) are already decided, the relegation battle remains wide open heading into the final day. Amazulu FC delivered a lifeline performance on Wednesday, securing a vital 2-1 away win over the University of Pretoria to keep their hopes of survival alive.
Togolese defender Ouro-Akoriko Sadate and his teammates refused to give in to relegation fears, climbing off the bottom of the table with just one matchday remaining. Their dramatic win sees them leapfrog Moroka Swallows, who now sit at the foot of the standings after suffering a heartbreaking last-minute 2-1 defeat to Ajax Cape Town.
Meanwhile, Chippa United remain just one point above the drop zone and now face intense pressure going into the final round of fixtures.
Amazulu’s task is clear: they must win their final match against Maritzburg United and hope that Chippa United slip up to secure their top-flight status. While the challenge is steep, Wednesday’s performance proved that Amazulu are still fighting.
Current Standings (Bottom Three):
14th – Chippa United
15th – Amazulu
16th – Moroka Swallows
Final Day Outlook:

Chippa United vs [TBD]
Moroka Swallows vs [TBD]
With the fate of all three teams hanging in the balance, the final matchday promises high drama at both ends of the table. For Amazulu, one more inspired performance could make the difference between survival and relegation.
