Chiefs’ Phili on why scoring against Sundowns was ‘huge’
'Being at such a great football institution as Kaizer Chiefs you want to play in the big games,' said the new Chiefs signing.
Kaizer Chiefs striker Langelihle Phili praised his celebratory goalscoring display against Mamelodi Sundowns as a significant moment for him. The 21-year-old scored for the team in the 63rd minute at FNB Stadium and celebrated by ripping his shirt off and jumping into the arms of his teammates. Phili highlighted the importance of representing Kaizer Chiefs in big games, stating that scoring against Sundowns, the African champions, felt particularly special.
The youngster has shown promise since joining Chiefs from Stellenbosch, earning Man-of-the-Match honors in a 2-0 win over Sekhukhune. Despite only netting one goal in a 1-1 draw against Sundowns, Phili emphasized that his representation of Kaizer Chiefs is an honor and privilege, appreciative of the support and environment provided by the club.
Chiefs currently sit on seven points from three Premiership matches, with their next fixture set for August 26 at Richards Bay.
