Magesi goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze says he is remaining focused on the cup final against Mamelodi Sundowns after collecting a third Man of the Match award in the Carling Knockout to take his overall prize money to R300 000.
Newly-promoted Magesi booked a spot in the final of the Carling Black Label Knockout with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Richards Bay at King Zwelithini Stadium on Saturday.

Chipezeze who ensured none of Richards Bay's seven shots that landed on target found the back of the net, was once again voted by fans as the Man of the Match.
"Like I said earlier, I am grateful. I just want to thank them for believing in me, because not a lot of people can show the love people have been showing me throughout the competition.
"And not only in the competition, ever since I have been here in South Africa, a lot of people have had my back and I am grateful for that.
"I am just here to serve, as long as I am keeping a smile on their faces, then I am happy and grateful.

In beating Richards Bay, Magesi now have one more hurdle in the form of Sundowns, who defeated Marumo Gallants 2-0 on Sunday in the second semi-final of the cup competition.
"For now, I'm just focused on the job. The personal accolades will come later, for now, it's just about helping the club grow," added Chipezeze.
"It's always nice to be in the cup final in this country, it means a lot to me personally.
"Exciting times at Magesi, we have made history for ourselves. With the fans behind us, I couldn't be more happier for them."
The final will be played at Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday, 23 November.
