Richards Bay coach Ronnie Gabriel expressed relief after his side finally recorded their first win in the Betway Premiership with a after following their 1-0 victory over Chippa United at Princess Magogo on Tuesday night.
The Natal Rich Boyz had recorded three successive defeats to Marumo Gallants, Golden Arrows and Kaizer Chiefs before edging the Chilli Boys through a strike from new signing Gabadinho Mhango.
Gabriel insists there was no point where they had to press any panic buttons, as he felt they were playing well and were unlucky to lose. We had to look at our previous results, and we felt that against Gallants and Arrows, we played well. We dominated the stats in those games and created numerous goalscoring chances, but ended up on the losing end, Gabriel said.
