Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune rolled back the years in the most glorious of fashions.

The 35-year-old goalkeeper made two saves in a 4-3 MTN 8 quarterfinal penalty shootout victory over Stellenbosch FC at the Danie Craven Stadium.

The match ended 1-1 via goals from the home team's Sihle Nduli in the 48th minute, and the visitor's Ashley du Preez' equaliser in the 58th minute. Both the goals came from glaring errors by the opposing defenses after being caught in possession in dangerous areas.

The Amakhosi did not miss a single spot-kick of theirs, while Deano van Rooyen and William Likuta failed to get their strikes past Khune, who was in his renowned penalty-saving form.

Meant to kick off at 15:00, the Premier Soccer League's match commissioner had to delay it to allow spectators into the stadium, Sports Brief reported. Unsurprisingly, an overwhelming amount of them were Amakhosi supporters.

The stadium, which seats 16 000 people, was eventually filled up at kick-off for the sold-out fixture. There was video footage of a crush nearly taking place at one of the entrances.
