Elvis Chipezeze has expressed his delight after being named Man of the Match for the fourth time in the Carling Black Label Knockout Cup this season.
The Zimbabwean goalkeeper earned the accolade following his heroic performance in Magesi’s 2-1 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns in Saturday’s final.
Chipezeze made a series of crucial saves, helping his side withstand heavy pressure from Sundowns and secure their first-ever silverware in their debut season in the top-flight.
In a post-match interview with SABC Sport, Chipezeze shared his thoughts:
“These are the moments we’ve been preparing for throughout the week. As the last line of defence, it’s my responsibility to do my job.”
“I’m paid to keep the ball out of the net, and while I’m disappointed with the goal we conceded, I’m happy we stuck to the game plan.”
“We knew we were the underdogs going into this game, and honestly, no one expected us to win.”
