AmaZulu secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Richards Bay with a late strike from Hendrick Ekstein that proved to be the difference maker. The match started poorly for AmaZulu with an early substitution of Mondli Mbanjwa due to what appeared to be an injury, but T. Kutumela gave them the lead midway through the first half. Richards Bay responded well through Sanele Barns' equalizer before halftime, setting up an engaging second period. Both managers made multiple changes in the second half as they searched for the winner, and it was veteran playmaker Ekstein who delivered the decisive moment seven minutes from time, capitalizing on AmaZulu's patient build-up play to claim three valuable points in their mid-table push.
