After losing to Cape Town City on the final day of the just finished season, Kaizer Chiefs suffered a triple blow.
Furthermore, with that loss, the Chiefs set a new record for most defeats in a single Premier Soccer League season, with 12.
after make matters worse, Chiefs lost their quick attacker, Ashley du Preez, after a clumsy challenge from Taariq Fielies. The City Centre was turned red at the time because the Referee on the day, Moses Kheswa, deemed the challenge to be risky.

After receiving treatment for his damaged leg, Du Preez managed to raise himself up from the ground and attempted to continue. His valiant efforts, however, were short-lived, as he was stretchered off the field and replaced by Khama Billiat. Then, to add insult to injury, returning star Billiat only lasted 10 minutes before being replaced, further limiting Chiefs’ attacking options as they entered the second half trailing 1-0.
Following the game, both Chiefs and City officials expressed opposing views on the nature of the tackle on Du Preez. Citizen’s coach Eric Tinkler said that at first view, a red card appeared to be a pretty harsh punishment.
