Kaizer Chiefs manager Nasreddine Nabi has reacted to the Soweto giants' loss to Lamontville Golden Arrows in the Betway Premiership moments after being sent off by the centre referee.

The Glamour Boys created loads of chances in the match but were wasteful in front of the goal.

Nabi reacts to Kaizer Chiefs' loss against Golden Arrows

According to iDiskiTimes, Nabi during an interview with SuperSport TV a few moments after he received a red card after the full-time whistle for protesting to the match official.

"It's always the same issue when you don't convert your opportunities to score," the former AS FAR Rabat coach said after the match.
"You keep the opponent alive, and when he gets the opportunity to score, he puts in his opportunities, and then you have to run after the score.
"Today, it's an absolutely deceiving result, and we're very aware we didn't do well."

Kaizer Chiefs have been displaced from fifth place after the defeat, with their opponent, Golden Arrows, now occupying the position while the Glamour Boys move down to sixth on the log.

Nabi still needs to secure continental football for the Soweto giants next season, and they are five points behind third-placed Sekhukhune United.

The Tunisian mentor needs to find a permanent solution to Kaizer Chiefs' scoring problem, and bringing in a new striker before the January transfer window closes could solve the ongoing issue.

Amakhosi's next match in the Betway Premiership will be against the in-form Sekhukhune United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium next Sunday (January 19). A win could send Chiefs back to fifth place on the log, provided that Golden Arrows lose to TS Galaxy a day before the Soweto-based side's match.
