Chippa United secures Nedbank Cup semis spot with Nwabali’s penalty heroics


Stanley Nwabali, the goalkeeper for Chippa United, emerged as the hero of the penalty shoot-out, guiding his team to qualify for the semi-finals of the Nedbank Cup.

Securing a clean sheet, Nwabali led his South African club to a 2-0 victory over TS Galaxy.

Despite Chippa United leading 1-0, a penalty was awarded against them during the match.

Chippa United extended their lead through a stoppage-time penalty scored by Roscoe Heinrich.

Following the game, Nwabali took to Twitter and expressed, “This is my office!! Another clean sheet in the bag, back-to-back Nedbank Cup match wins prior to great team performance. Onto the next round! Chili boys.”
