Match report

Sekhukhune United took three points from Richards Bay on Saturday evening, winning 3-2 in the Premier League Football at the Richards Bay Stadium. The visitors opened the scoring early and held on despite a late rally from the hosts.

Tshepo Mokoane gave Sekhukhune the lead in the tenth minute, and Karabo Tlaka came on for the hosts eighteen minutes in. Richards Bay pushed for an equaliser but could only manage two big chances through the first half and most of the second. Thabo Nkwana and Bethuel Muzeu were brought on together for Sekhukhune in the sixty-sixth minute, and S. Barns replaced someone for Richards Bay a minute later.

The game turned in the final twenty minutes. Ndongani Samba Gilbani O'Neil levelled for the visitors in the seventy-third, and then Nqaba Xulu worked a short corner to fire home for Richards Bay in the seventy-seventh. He found a way back into it again in the eighty-sixth when Sekhukhune's goalkeeper made just one save all match. Ngoanamello Rammala sealed the win in the eighty-ninth, and Mokoane was brought off at the same time.

Richards Bay dominated possession at 58 per cent and registered twelve shots, six on target. Sekhukhune managed seven shots with four on target. Both sides created two big chances, but the visitors took theirs more cleanly. The hosts had nine corners to Sekhukhune's three and completed 381 passes against 290.
