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 Unitedโs 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 Nwabaliโs form will be vital as the club pushes for a strong finish to the season.

Stanley Nwabaliโs mental and physical strength has been on full display since his impressive performances at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON. Despite the personal tragedies he has endured, his ability to remain focused and deliver a Man of the Match performance speaks volumes about his resilience and professionalism.
His strong displays for Chippa United reaffirm his status as Nigeriaโs first choice goalkeeper, and with the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers approaching, the Super Eagles can take confidence in his safe hands.
For Nwabali, staying consistent at club level will be key to securing a move to a bigger league in Europe. If he maintains this form, top clubs could soon come calling.
