Sanele Barns of Richards Bay FC challenged by Kaizer Chiefs' Faiz Abrahams during the Betway Premiership match at Priness Magogo Stadium on Wednedsay might.
Richards Bay coach Ronnie Gabriel was left ruing a missed opportunity after his side surrendered the lead twice to draw 2-2 with Kaizer Chiefs at Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban on Wednesday night.
The Natal Rich Boyz looked on course for a first win of the season after Nqaba Xulu’s double put them in front, but Siphesihle Ndlovu’s 77th-minute strike rescued a point for Chiefs.
For Gabriel, the turning point came when Thulane Gumede was presented with a one-on-one opportunity to make it 3-1.
“I think we could have held on for the three points. It’s disappointing to throw away the three points like that and take one point,” Gabriel said. “We were 2-1 up and then we had a one-on-one with the goalkeeper to make it 3-1 and then we didn’t take the chance and Chiefs come and equalise on the other end. Had we taken the chance it would have been curtains. It would have been our three points.”
