Taariq Fielies Hands Amazulu Kzn Derby Bragging Rights Over Richards Bay

A solitary second half strike by Taariq Fielies saw AmaZulu FC beat Richards Bay 1-0 at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Friday.

Usuthu consolidated their seventh place on the Betway Premiership standings by breaking a four-game winless run and secured a rare win over the Natal Rich Boys in the top flight.

For Richards Bay, back-to-back defeats see their survival hopes take a damaging blow as they linger in 13th spot, just two points above the relegation zone.

Just as the game seemed to be heading for a dull draw in Umlazi, defender Fielies pooped up with his first goal of the season and gave the hosts the lead.

The towering defender came out with an unfamiliar goal to all but decided what was tight and highly competitive match.
