Magesi FC goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze felt his side executed their game plan very well to come back and secure the win against Mamelodi Sundowns.
Clinton Larsen’s side secured their maiden top-flight title after securing a 2-1 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.
Goals from Tshepo Kakora and Delano Abrahams cancelled out Iqraam Rayners’ opener as Magesi held on to secure the win and trophy at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
Chipezeze, who was named Man of the Man, reserved special praise for the club’s fans who came out in numbers to support Magesi in Blomfontein.
“First of all, I just want to thank the supporters. Like I said in the beginning of the tournament, they play an important role to what we’re doing,” Chipezeze told SuperSport TV after the game.
“We’re just here to entertain them and as you can see, they are all smiling, the stadium was buzzing.
“We have people from Limpopo driving from 5 am to come and witness us and history. I’m just grateful to them for the support they are giving me.
“We had a game plan and we executed it very well. We conceded a soft goal in the first half but we just kept it calm. We knew we were gonna create chances and we took them.”
