Stanley Nwabali: Super Eagles star shines for Chippa to send message to Eric Chelle

Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was the hero of the hour for Chippa United in their 2-0 win over Cape Town City in the South African PSL.

The Super Eagles shot-stopper made six crucial saves to help his team keep a clean sheet - their first in nine games!

It was a much-needed win for Chippa United, and Nwabali's performance was a welcome return to form.

He'd been under fire after some costly mistakes in recent games, including a howler against TS Galaxy.

Nwabali's resurgence is great news for Nigeria With crucial World Cup qualifiers coming up against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, coach Eric Chelle needs all the help he can get.

The goalkeeping department is one that has been a headache for Nigeria for a few years with the likes of Maduka Okoye and Francis Uzoho failing to impress.

Nwabali's performance against Cape Town is a timely one and should help put Chelle and the rest of the nation at ease ahead of must-win games in March.
