Bafana Bafana legend Itumeleng Khune: Sipho Mbule strike was great but Ghana goalkeeper applied wrong goalkeeping techniques which exposed him

Itumeleng Khune believes Ghana national team goalkeeper applied wrong goalkeeping techniques yesterday when they faced Bafana Bafana in a friendly international.

The former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana goalminder, Khune, gives credit to Sipho Mbule’s great strike in the second half yet blames Lawrence Osei’s techniques as the reason they conceded.

“Before I got to the keeper, we saw how confident Sipho was,” Khune said on SABC.

“As a no.10 he picked up the ball from no.6 position, but look at where Makgopa is. Makgopa is not a no.9, he dropped in and the defence focusses on the no.9, then it opened up for Sipho and what a great strike.

“But the goalkeeper, poor footwork, poor everything. His position is also poor because you can’t dive using both your hands.

“As a goalkeeper there is a certain height where you’re supposed to use one hand, either the bottom hand or the top hand to make a safe.

“He went with both and that didn’t give him enough reach.”

Bafana are off to Morocco today as they play Angola on Monday in their opening 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations.
