Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye has praised the side’s new signing Glody Lilepo for his performance in their 1-0 win over Stellenbosch on Friday.
The Congolese winger is one of Chiefs’ new recruits in the recent transfer window and he got off the blocks scoring his first goal in only his third appearance in black and gold. The goal was enough to seal victory and help Amakhosi move up to fourth spot on the Betway Premiership table with 25 points in 17 games.
Khanye says the victory will ease pressure off the club while adding that he is singling out the 27 year old because his speed, technique in scoring the goal carried Chiefs at the sold out Athlone stadium.
“Well done to Lilepo but he looks like a striker judging from how he scored, using the right technique for the header especially directing it where the goalkeeper came from,” said Khanye on IDiski TV.
“So, well done. The right hand side was the one working for Kaizer Chiefs in the first half and when the ball was in the other direction, Lilepo got in the box which is good for him.
“Well done to him for helping Kaizer Chiefs win. As a new signing you need to score as a winger who has speed. He’s a threat because every time he had the ball it looked like something was going to happen.
“Well done to him and well done to the team for winning I think pressure ease up a bit. They just need to be consistent. The guy with his speed singlehandedly won the game for Chiefs today.”
