Emva kokuphumelela ngephanyazo kokugqibela kwiPolokwane City, uLwandile Mabuya engena njengoyena tshintsho kwiNatal Rich Boys.

Yayiyisiqalo esizele zizenzo apho iBuccaneers yayisele iza kuphula i-deadlock xa i-free-kick ephantsi kaDeon Hotto yanyanzela u-Ian Otieno ukuba angene.

Kwelinye icala, iindwendwe zaphendula xa umzamo wokugoba emva kwe-free-kick kaMoses Mthembu wabona uSipho Chaine ehamba ngaphesheya kwendawo yakhe waza wangena kumgca wokudlala.

IiBuccaneers zijonge ukwandisa ithuba lazo kamva nge-free-kick ephoswe ngaphandle kwendawo yiHotto ebaleka nzima, kodwa ayizange inike u-Otieno ingxaki.

IiPirates zifune igoli lesibini emva kwekhefu kwaye zaphuma ngentloko kaLebone Seema ephuma ecaleni kwe-vertical.

Kwahlala kukho ukungqubana okumbalwa njengoko iiNatal Rich Boys zifuna ithuba emva kwemizuzu embalwa ngomzamo othathwe entloko nguThulani Gumede kwindawo, kodwa wadlula phezulu.

Njengoko iRichards Bay ikhula ngamandla kumdlalo, iiBuccaneers zenze utshintsho oluphindwe kabini emva kwemizuzu engama-61.

Njengoko uMaswanganyi enika uTshepang Moremi indawo ngaphambi kokuba uEvidence Makgopa angene endaweni kaMbuthuma.

UMoremi ufake isantya esongezelelekileyo kuhlaselo lwabo emva kokufika kwakhe kwaye phantse wafikelela kwiphepha lamanqaku nge-cross-cum shot ekhohlo kwebhokisi yeeyadi ezintandathu.

IRichards Bay yaqala ukufaka uxinzelelo kancinci kamva, kodwa umninimzi wabuya wanamandla kwaye walelwa igoli lesibini xa ishoti enamandla emphethweni wendawo kaMofokeng yabetha i-crossbar.

Kwabakho idrama ekupheleni kwemizuzwana yokugqibela njengoko uMoremi wehla ebhokisini ukuze aphumelele ipenalty, eyathi uMakgopa wayenza yatshintsha ukuze afumane amanqaku aphezulu ngobo busuku.
