Most valuable player (MVP):
Ngcobo was the official man of the match. The diminutive midfielder related well to Billiat and Manyama. There were also commendable performances for Castro and Billiat, who both might have scored had it not been for Mothwa’s stunts, while Manyama also showed good leadership and strength with his performance. Additionally, the Chiefs defense stood firm by not allowing Chippa a single shot on goal. While Akpeyi was a general pedestrian in the game, he sent a series of telltale balls forward that wreaked havoc on the Chilli Boys.
