Richards Bay FC coach Ronnie Gabriel has expressed his disappointment after his side dropped points against Kaizer Chiefs in the Betway Premiership on Wednesday evening.
The Natal Rich Boyz twice took the lead at the Princess Magogo Stadium, only for Amakhosi to fight back on both occasions and secure a 2-2 draw.

Gabriel believes Richards Bay had done enough to claim maximum points after leading twice, admitting that they let victory slip away.
However, the coach acknowledged the quality of the Soweto giants, who enjoyed greater possession for long periods of the match.
“After leading twice in the game, I felt we could have held on for the three points,” said Gabriel.
“It’s disappointing to throw away the three points like that and take one point.
“But be that as it may, we came up against a very strong Kaizer Chiefs team. I think they also held possession for long periods in the game.
“They gave us some difficult moments, some difficult challenges that we had to dissolve.
“But again, I think with that type of performance that we put out here today, with the effort that we put, the commitment by the group, preparations on course, we would have ideally liked to take the three points today.
“So, we’ll have to take this type of effort into the next game against AmaZulu and see if it gets us three points.”
