Elvis Chipezeze Claims Sixth Consecutive Carling Knockout Man of the Match Award

Magesi FC goalkeeper and captain Elvis Chipezeze continued his remarkable run by winning his sixth consecutive Carling Knockout Man of the Match award. He earned R100 000 for his standout performance on Tuesday against Orlando Pirates, despite Magesi FC losing 2-1 at Orlando Stadium in the quarter-final. The defeat ended their title defence after last season’s triumph, which included a first-round victory over Pirates.

Chipezeze has become a fan favourite in the Carling Knockout, with supporters consistently recognising his performances. On Instagram, he thanked fans for their unwavering support, acknowledging the motivation it provides both him and his team. “Thank you again for the love and support you guys have shown throughout the competition. Your constant support and encouragement really pushed us to do better. Enjoy the rest of the competition and see you soon,” he wrote.

The goalkeeper’s streak now totals R600 000 in prize money from the tournament. His consistent excellence has established him as one of the competition’s standout players, even as Magesi FC exited early this season.

Chipezeze’s performances underline his value not only to Magesi FC but also to the Carling Knockout Cup, where individual brilliance continues to captivate fans and maintain interest in the tournament, regardless of team outcomes.
