TS Galaxy
TS Galaxy set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to control the midfield and provide service to lone striker V. Letsoalo. While they maintained defensive discipline for much of the match, they struggled to create meaningful chances and lacked the attacking spark needed to trouble the Richards Bay defense. The hosts showed commitment, with midfielders like S. Maduna and M. Mbunjana working hard to regain possession, but ultimately could not convert their efforts into goals. A yellow card highlighted their competitive edge, but the lack of offensive output proved costly.
