Spurs grab crucial victory over Richards Bay in relegation battle

Cape Town Spurs have given themselves a chance to avoid relegation after a 1-0 home victory against fellow strugglers Richards Bay at Athlone Stadium.

The crucial strike came with four minutes from full-time when substitute Azola Jakalashe connected with a header that beat visiting goalkeeper Salim Magoola.

The victory means Spurs remain at the bottom of the standings but are now five points behind Richards Bay with both teams having five matches still to play this season.

The Cape side host Polokwane City in their next match while Richards Bay face Amazulu in a KZN derby in their next encounter.
