Ramatalohle played out a 1-1 draw with Ezemvelo Women in the Group Stage of the Super League on Saturday afternoon. The match finished at the home ground with both sides walking away with a point each. And here's the thing, it was Ezemvelo who took the lead late on, only for Ramatalohle to respond in stoppage time.
The visitors opened the scoring in the 79th minute, catching the hosts off guard. Ramatalohle equalised just three minutes into added time, a moment that shifted the momentum completely. By then, the game had become a test of nerves rather than tactics, with both teams pushing for a winner.
The result keeps Ramatalohle in seventh place on ten points from six games, while Ezemvelo remain twelve on six points. Neither side moved significantly in the table, though the draw gives Ramatalohle something to build on after a difficult run. To be fair, Ezemvelo showed character in their away performance despite their position.
Ramatalohle arrive having drawn with DZVV Women last week before losing to University of Johannesburg Women. Ezemvelo came into this match on the back of a 2-1 win against University of Johannesburg Women, having lost to First Touch Women. Both sides now have a five-game gap before their next fixture.
The goal difference remains unchanged at this stage of the tournament. With only six games played, every point matters, and both teams will want to take something from their remaining fixtures. Ramatalohle's late response shows resilience, while Ezemvelo's away goal suggests they can compete with anyone.
