After the game, the Super Eagles goalkeeper took to social media to emphasise that he had owned the goalposts.

"This is my office!! Another clean sheet in the bag, back-to-back Nedbank Cup match wins prior to great team performance. Onto the next round! Chili boys."

Kaizer Chiefs pull out of Nwabali race

Sports Brief earlier reported that Chippa United have slammed a hefty price tag on the Nigerian keeper, forcing Kaizer Chiefs to decline signing Nwabali in the summer window.

The 27-year-old attracted the interest of several clubs around the globe after starring for the Super Eagles in their run to a silver medal place at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Due to the price tag placed on Nwabali by Chippa due to this interest, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly backed out of any deal to sign the Nigerian keeper in the transfer window.
