Richard Ofori captains Maritzburg to victory

Ghana Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Ofori was the hero of the day for South African Premier League side Maritzburg United as they defeated Amazulu by two goals to one at the Harry Gwala Stadium.

Ofori was handed the captain arm band for the game by coach Eric Tinkler and he was at his usual best as his side continue their fight for survival.
