In a thrilling match that kept fans on the edge of their seats, FCSB emerged as 2-1 victors over FC Craiova, securing their position at the top of the Romanian top league after 16 games.
The standout performance came from centerback Ngezana, who effectively neutralized league top scorer Aurelian Chitu throughout the game. Ngezana, now with 11 games under his belt in the center back position, maintained his starting spot despite the presence of Cameroon defender Joyskim Dawa on the bench.
As FCSB eyes more success in the Romanian league with 14 games left to play, Ngezana, a former Chiefs player, is driven by the desire to lift trophies, a feat that eluded him during his seven-year stint with Chiefs. At 26, Ngezana has played the full 90 minutes in 10 games this season but is yet to receive a call-up to the Bafana Bafana squad.
