Durban City's Tylo Sanger tries to control the ball in their Betway Premiership match against Richards Bay FC.
Durban City salvaged a draw from their second derby in a row, fighting back from a goal down to share the spoils with KwaZulu-Natal rivals Richards Bay at Chatsworth Stadium on Saturday night.
The Citizens had not found the back of the net in their opening two league matches, and their failure to find a cutting edge was once again evident in the first half.
Veteran Gaston Sirino drove City forward early, producing a delicious cutback from the right that was sent wide. The midfielder also struck the bar with a shot, while Jean Lubumba slashed wildly at the rebound with the goal gaping.
Richards Bay made City pay for that early profligacy, with Aqaba Xulu going straight up the other end after capitalising on a defensive error, twisting inside and out before burying his shot into the roof of the net.
