And it appears as if his daughter’s were impressed with their father’s performance!
Khune took to Twitter to post a clip of his stand-out moments from the match – which the Warriors won 2-1.
Another who was impressed with Khune’s performance for the Warriors FC side was coach Dylan Kerr.

Kerr added that he knows Khune’s showing in goal caught the eye of Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter.
Khune has only featured once for Amakhosi this season as Baxter has opted to use Daniel Akpeyi in goal for the majority of the season.
‘Spider Kid’ looked in great form on Saturday for Warriors FC as they reached the final of the DStv Compact Cup by beating Amabutho 2-1 in the semi-final.

Next Saturday they will face Coastal United in the final at FNB Stadium – a venue Khune knows better than most.
“It’s difficult because obviously he has not played at all [for Chiefs] but obviously Stuart, Dillon [Sheppard] and Arthur Zwane were watching this game and he didn’t let them down,” Kerr told the media after the game.
“Good attitude. I mean he worked his socks off in the last two days. I think he realised the amount of work the goalkeepers had to do when they did a training session with me.
“Credit to him, he made one save in the second half when we were under pressure and he kept us in the game.”
Itumeleng Khune ‘deserved’ man of the match award
Kerr thought that Khune’s performance was so good that he deserved the man of the match award in what was his first game since an appearance last August in the MTN8.
“Khune [during] the whole game was outstanding because he has not played for a long time and to come into this competition, expectations are all on him because of who he is,” he said.
“The massive personality that he has in SA football … so for me, I thought he was man-of-the-match, he deserves that today because he saved us.
“The goal that they scored he made a great save. Unfortunately, we didn’t react to the rebound.”
