Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine was the hero on Monday night, as his heroics in the penalty shoot-out guided the team to a second successive MTN8 title.
The Buccaneers shot-stopper pulled off three successive saves in the shoot-out to help the team secure the title.
Speaking to SuperSport after the match, Chaine said, “I really don’t know, I might try and say ‘Ja, we do some homework’ ja we do some homework but at the end of the day it went our way today and we thank God so much.”
The 28-year-old also opened up about his journey to becoming the number one goalkeeper at the Soweto giants.
“Where can I start? I said earlier it’s by the grace of God that I’m here, where no one expected me to be where I am today. When I was just a small boy from Bloemfontein, who started off very far you know,” he said.
“My journey, unbelievable. I can only say that I’m the product of His grace, each and everyday I go to training to work hard, to get better but he’s the master planner, he knows what he has in store for you. All I can do is to just put my trust in Him.”
Chaine’s heroics in the penalty shoot-out helped the team secure back-to-back MTN8 titles, and his performance was widely praised by fans and pundits alike.
