Baroka coach explains why Chipezeze has been benched in recent games

Baroka FC coach Matsimela Thoka has explained why Elvis Chipepeze has been benched in recent games having started in the team’s first three games of the South African top-flight season.

The Zimbabwean goalkeeper has sat out in the 1-0 loss to TTM and 1-1 draw against Orlando Pirates over the weekend. Recently re-signed Oscarine Masuluke has been used instead.

Speaking to SowetanLive, Thoka, who was appointed the head coach a few weeks ago after the dismissal of Dylan Kerr, said no one is guaranteed a first-team spot in his team.

“What I see from the two boys [Masuluke and Chipezeze] is they give each other good competition and that’s what we want in the team,” said the gaffer.

“No one is guaranteed a starting position, everyone must work for his position. Overall I don’t have doubts about those two keepers.”
