Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has lauded Magesi FC goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze for his outstanding performance in the Carling Cup Knockout tournament, where he was instrumental in his team’s 2-1 victory over Sundowns in the final.

Chipezeze earned four consecutive Man of the Match awards throughout the competition, with his latest accolade coming after a heroic display in the final.

The Zimbabwean shot-stopper saved eight of Sundowns’ nine shots on target, playing a pivotal role in Magesi lifting the trophy.

Mngqithi described the 35-year-old’s achievement as one of the “strangest feats” he has seen in football. Speaking to Kick-off.com, Mngqithi remarked: “Credit must be given to Chipezeze again, I think he stood out for them. No wonder he was Man of the Match, he has been very important in this tournament.”
