Cape Town - Ajax Cape Town scored twice in the final quarter to defeat Free State Stars 3-1 at the Cape Town Stadium on Friday night and replace Kaizer Chiefs as Absa Premiership leaders.
Zimbabwean midfielders played a big role in the third win on the trot for the youthful 'Urban Warriors' with Tafadzwa Rusike scoring the second goal and Khama Billiat the third 10 minutes from full-time.
Defender Thulani Hlatshwayo opened the scoring from a corner three minutes into the second half at Cape Town Stadium while Free State grabbed a stoppage-time consolation goal through Katlego Mashego.
An Ajax team coached by Dutchman Martin Stekelenburg now have 13 points from six matches, one more than Chiefs, who face a tough task on Saturday away to mid-table Bloemfontein Celtic.
"There is so much talent among my footballers who play the game beautifully when they are not scared.
We controlled almost the entire game and I am extremely proud of them," boasted Stekelenburg.
Ajax are seeking a first Premiership title after finishing runners-up to Orlando Pirates last season.
