Mochudi Centre Chiefs' goalkeeper, Noah Maposa became an instant hero on Saturday when his save from Naughty Boys' substitute, Thabani Ngwenya in post-match penalties booked his side a first-ever appearance in the Coca-Cola Cup final.

Magosi won the shoot-out 5-4 after a dull game at the National Stadium. Despite playing with a shoulder injury throughout the game, Maposa made his presence felt by two crucial saves in normal time. It was the second weekend when the goalkeeper kept Chiefs in the Coca-Cola Cup by performing heroics in the shoot-out. The goalkeeper made important saves during post-match penalties in the quarter-finals against Extension Gunners.

A delighted Maposa said that the game was very difficult and things got worse during the penalties. "I had to stand tall to ensure that we reach our first Coke final. I have never played in a Coke final and this is the best moment in my career. I was afraid to stretch my arm because I did not want to make the injury worse.
