Knox Mutizwa Inspires Richards Bay to 4-1 Victory Over Chippa United

Richards Bay striker Knox Mutizwa delivered a standout performance on Sunday, scoring twice to lead his team to a 4-1 win over Chippa United in the Carling Black Label Cup. The victory secured Richards Bay’s place in the next round and marked a memorable debut for the new signing.

Richards Bay made a fast start, with Ntlonelo Bomelo opening the scoring in the 5th minute. Just two minutes later, Mutizwa extended the lead, rising above the Chippa defense to head home from a well-taken corner. The early goals gave Richards Bay full control of the game.

Mutizwa struck again in the 35th minute, finishing off a precise pass from Bomelo to make it 3-0 before halftime. His movement and finishing showed the quality that made him a key figure during his time with Golden Arrows and Highlanders.

Chippa United pulled one back in the second half, but Richards Bay quickly restored their dominance, adding a fourth goal to seal the result. The emphatic win reflected the team’s growing confidence and attacking strength under their current setup.

Mutizwa’s performance earned him the Man of the Match award, as voted by the fans. He walked away with R100,000, a fitting reward for his clinical display.

His brace marked a strong statement on his return to top form after joining Richards Bay. The club will hope his experience and scoring ability can help them build momentum in upcoming matches.

The win over Chippa United also served as a reminder of Mutizwa’s value to South African football, proving that his hunger and sharpness in front of goal remain intact.
