Jan 14th features a match where Tshakhuma will play host to Richards Bay in a Premier League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Tshakhuma recorded a 0-1 loss against Maritzburg United. Tshepo Gumede struck first for Maritzburg United on an own goal in the 79th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Tshakhuma couldn’t manage to score, and Maritzburg United took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while richards Bay is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Mamelodi Sundowns. Cassius Mailula scored the first goal for Mamelodi Sundowns in the 39th minute, then Haashim Domingo added another in the 66th minute In the end, Richards Bay was frustrated by Mamelodi Sundowns’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Mamelodi Sundowns ended the match with the shutout victory. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Richards Bay should be reasonably happy with their performance.
