After having spent over six months on the side lines, Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune returned to action on Saturday afternoon for the Warriors FC during the DStv Compact Cup played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, fans voted for their favorite ayers to be on the line ups and being the best in Mzansi, he was on top of the goal keeper’s list and he proved to the entire country that he was literally born for it, he was the man that stood between Amabhutho and the goals, he made sure that he kept them at bay.
Khune last played during the MTN 8 game between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns in August where Chiefs lost during the penalty kicks, he hasn’t played a single game in the Dstv Premiership this season, he has hardly ever features for Amakhosi and some are even starting to think that his playing days are over, but today he showed that he still have what it takes to play at the highest level in this country, he made a couple of fine saves to save his side.
The 34 year old was in fine form and he was producing great saves from the first half where he made about three or four saves, but above all, his ball distribution remains unmatched, when he has the ball in his hands, he always turns defense into attack with his pin-point passes which always finds his running players and launch a counter-attack, that is one aspect of his game which no other South African goalkeeper has, it will always be something special he posses.
His fans and Chiefs supporters feels he displayed a Man of the Match performance but he was denied somehow it was not given to him, some were singing special praise for him saying he still has what it takes to play regularly, some fans are saying he can still offer about four seasons while playing regularly, but another one said he will cry when he finally hangs up his gloves.
