On Tuesday, 14th March, Chippa United avoided a giant-killing act with a
2-0 victory over Mpheni Home Defenders in the Nedbank Cup.

at the near post, before Diego Appollis doubled the lead with a strike in
the box ten minutes after his introduction.

pulled off a crucial save to keep the Chilli Boys’ lead intact and secure
their spot in the quarter-finals.
