Match Info

Polokwane City FC and Richards Bay played out a 1-1 draw in their South Africa Premier Soccer League encounter at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on November 2, 2025. This mid-table battle provided plenty of drama, with both teams showing fighting spirit to come away with a point each. Richards Bay surprised the home crowd by taking an early lead, capitalizing on a defensive error to slot home. Polokwane City, however, grew into the game and their pressure told just before halftime when a deflected shot from outside the box found the net. The second half was a cagey affair, with both sides cautious of making a mistake that would cost them the match. The key moment came late when Polokwane City's striker was brought down in the box, but the referee waved away passionate penalty appeals, a decision that was debated long after the final whistle. The draw did little to change either team's position in the lower half of the league table, as both remained in need of wins to climb to safety. The Polokwane City manager felt his side deserved all three points, while the Richards Bay coach highlighted his team's improved defensive organization. The lineups reflected two teams set up to be hard to beat, with a focus on midfield battles and limited risks.
