A 79th-minute goal by Mulekelayi Kanku earned Ajax Cape Town a 2-1 victory over Dynamos in a tough Castle Premiership soccer match played at the Giyani Stadium on Sunday.
Ajax led 1-0 at half-time.
Joseph Ngake put the visitors into the lead in the 37th minute and Adam Ndlovu levelled matters within a minute of the start of the second half.
Ironically though it was the Limpopo side that dominated matters from the opening whistle and they had the upperhand over the urban Warriors for most of the match.
Dynamos crack striker Ndlovu cane close to scoring as early as the third minute but his thunderous shot narrowly went wide.

Ndlovu once again failed to find the net when his attempt from close range went abegging in the 10th minute.
Dynamos defender Gerald Raphahlela was denied a chance to score by the visitors' agile goalkeeper, Moeneeb Josephs, in the 32nd minute.
Then the home team suffered a blow as Ngake, who is currently in devastating form, put Ajax into the lead.
The whistle had hardly blown for the start of the second half when Ndlovu equalised and as the match progressed, Dynamos continued to exert more pressure on Gordon Igesund's side.
The home side looked the more likely to score but their strikers could not put it together.
The missed opportunities certainly cost Dynamos and they looked stunned when Kanku's shot drove into the home team's goal.
It was Dynamos first defeat after they drew 1-1 with Santos in their season opener at the same venue three weeks ago.
On the other hand it was Ajax's second win. They hammered Hellenic 3-1 in a Cape Town derby in their first match. - Sapa
