This was the third Man-of-the-Match Award in a row for Chipezeze, who has now banked himself an impressive R300 000.

Chipezeze thanks the fans

“Thanks to the supporters who voted for me. They came all the way from Limpopo (to the game),” Chipezeze told SABC Sport after the match.

“I just want to make them happy. When they are happy, I am happy. They use their hearts and money to come and watch us play.”

Chipezeze says keeping his side in matches is all just part of his job. The 34 year-old Zimbabwe has been key for Magesi as they have beaten Orlando Pirates, TS Galaxy and now the Natal Rich Boys to reach the final.

“It comes with learning. I made a lot of mistakes and I tried to sit down with myself and analyse where I can improve. Credit to the boys, we worked hard.”

Tshepo Mashigo got the only goal of the game for Magesi as he capitalised on a poor back header to drill a finish past Ian Otieno.
