Kaizer Chiefs defender Ramahlwe Mphahlele says it was an emotional moment for him to score against the side he captained the previous season.

The Glamour Boys fell to a 2-1 defeat against the Brazilians at Lucas Moripe Stadium in the Absa Premiership on Saturday.

The 26-year-old admits that he became emotional after scoring against his former side.

‘It was an emotional moment to score against the team I used to captain,’ Mphahlele told the Kaizer Chiefs website.

‘I couldn’t even celebrate, because any form of celebration would have been subjected to interpretation either way – especially by the Sundowns supporters as if I would be mocking them.’

Kaizer Chief will welcome SuperSport United to the FNB Stadium in the Absa Premiership on Wednesday.

Kick-off has been scheduled for 19:30.
