What happened

Milford left it late to sink Magesi 1-0 with the final kick of their PSL promotional playoff match at Richards Bay Stadium on Wednesday.

Why it matters

The match was heading for a draw when Khanyisani Radebe stepped in and scored the crucial goal deep into injury time, earning Milford three points and sending them to the top of the mini-league table with six points, three ahead of Magesi.

Common ground

Magesi might feel hard done by, as they would have thought that they had done enough for a draw, but Milford refused to relent and plied the pressure until the very end.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
