Super Eagles first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has expressed confidence in his return to top form after delivering a Man of the Match performance in Chippa United’s goalless draw against Richards Bay in the South African Premier Soccer League PSL.
Nwabali, who has been mourning the loss of both his parents in recent months, acknowledged the emotional difficulties he has faced but credited his teammates for supporting him.
“Not been easy healing. Man of the Match and a clean sheet. All thanks to the team. We go again,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The towering shot-stopper made crucial saves throughout the match, ensuring that Chippa United earned a valuable point. The clean sheet was another testament to his consistency and resilience, as he continues to cement his place as one of the top goalkeepers in South African football.
Chippa United currently sits ninth in the PSL standings with 22 points from 18 matches, and Nwabali’s form will be vital as the club pushes for a strong finish to the season.
