Second-half substitute Thando Ngwenya proved decisive, scoring a brace in the closing stages, while Mlondo Mbanjwa struck late as Usuthu overturned a match that had twice swung in Galaxy’s favour.
Former AmaZulu striker Victor Letsoalo broke the deadlock in the 70th minute, capitalising on a misjudgement by goalkeeper Darren Johnson.
The 32-year-old headed into an open net after Johnson flapped at a delivery, registering his second goal in as many matches.
