<\/p>\nKaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze has admitted Glody Lilepo\u2019s red card against AmaZulu was an unfortunate moment after the winger scored the winning goal in a 1-0 Betway Premiership victory.<\/p>\n
Lilepo was the match-winner for Amakhosi at Moses Mabhida Stadium. His second-half strike gave Chiefs all three points in Durban and helped them strengthen their position in third place.<\/p>\n
But his afternoon ended in disappointment.<\/p>\n
The DR Congo winger was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for removing his shirt during his goal celebration. He had already been booked earlier in the match.<\/p>\n
That red card means Lilepo will miss Kaizer Chiefs\u2019 final league match of the season against Chippa United at FNB Stadium.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking after the match, Kaze said Chiefs must learn from the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to be careful because he was already booked and he takes his shirt off as he celebrates,\u201d Kaze told SuperSport.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich means that we\u2019re going to miss him in the last game. It\u2019s an unfortunate situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you also understand the player, the passion and relief for scoring but it\u2019s good that we have three points.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut in future we need to be careful about things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lilepo\u2019s goal came in the second half after a tight contest against AmaZulu. Chiefs had struggled to create clear chances before the break, but they improved after halftime and found the breakthrough.<\/p>\n
The winger\u2019s finish proved decisive, but his celebration changed the mood around his performance.<\/p>\n
After removing his shirt, the referee showed him a second yellow card. Chiefs were then forced to finish the match with 10 men.<\/p>\n
Kaze said the team managed the situation well and protected their lead until the final whistle.<\/p>\n
The result gave Kaizer Chiefs another important win as they head into their final match of the campaign.<\/p>\n
Amakhosi will now face Chippa United without Lilepo, who has become an important attacking option for the club.<\/p>\n
For Kaze, the message was clear. Chiefs were happy with the three points, but the red card was avoidable.<\/p>\n
Lilepo\u2019s goal helped the team win the match. His red card, however, has left Chiefs without him for their season finale.<\/p>\n
