Glody Lilepo was both a hero and villain for Kaizer Chiefs as he scored a winner but received a red card immediately afterwards as Chiefs beat AmaZulu FC 1-0 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban in their penultimate Betway Premiership fixture on Saturday.
Seconds after scoring Lilepo was red-carded for pulling out his shirt while celebrating after already being on a yellow card.
The win took Amakhosi’s points to 54 as they cemented their third place which qualifies them for a spot in the Caf Confederation Cup season.
There was no rush between these two sides to win this match as AmaZulu were also looking to consolidate their fourth position and were helped in keeping it by fifth-placed Sekhukhune United playing to a 1-1 draw away to Richards Bay United at Mhlathuze Stadium on Saturday.
