After trailing 2-1 at the end of regular time in Durban, Ivory Coast-born AmaZulu substitute Sede Dion turned the match around with two goals, the second in the 97th minute.


Mbongeni Gumede got hosts AmaZulu off to a great start with a sixth-minute goal, but Khanyiso Mayo levelled in the first half and Tshegofatso Nyama put the visitors ahead on 58 minutes.


Victory was a huge relief for former Real Madrid assistant manager Pablo Franco, who has struggled since taking charge of AmaZulu this season with one league win in five games before facing City.


Success lifted the home side 10 places to fourth with nine points, half as many as leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have won all six matches.


AmaZulu were formed in 1932, making them the oldest of the 16 clubs competing in the top-flight championship this season.
