Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Sipho Chaine has set a new Betway Premiership record after he became the first gloveman to record 14 clean sheets after 20 games of the season.

Chaine has been a key part of a Buccaneers defence that has only conceded eight goals this campaign, and within that run he has recorded 14 shut-outs.

The only teams to score against him twice in a single match are Marumo Gallants and Mamelodi Sundowns, while he also conceded against Sekhukhune United, Sundowns again, Lamontville Golden Arrows and Polokwane City.

Brayan Leon from Sundowns netted a brace in their victory last month, making him the only player to score twice against Chaine. 

The gloveman beats the record held by Bafana Bafana star Ronwen Williams after he kept 13 clean sheets after 20 games of the 2022/23 season.
