Super Eagles’ first-choice goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali was between the sticks for Chippa United in a Premier League clash against Richards Bay, on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old delivered an outstanding performance, securing a clean sheet as his team triumphed 3-0 over their opponents.

It was Nwabali’s second appearance for Chippa United since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

The Nigerian goalkeeper made three crucial saves, thwarting the visitors’ attempts to grab a consolation goal.

With this recent achievement, Nwabali has now accumulated eight clean sheets in his seventeen league matches for the club this season.

Notably, he is trailing behind only Mamelodi Sundowns’ goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, who leads the league with 10 clean sheets in just 13 games.

The performance adds to the ongoing goalkeeper competition between Nwabali and Williams, which garnered attention during the Nations Cup.
