Olympic Football: Remembering King Khune vs Brazil in 2016

The Bafana Bafana stopper enjoyed one of the games of his life against the 2016 Olympic hosts in Rio de Janeiro

Itumeleng Khune’s showing against Brazil at the 2016 Olympic Games may have been one of the greatest moments of his career.

Certainly, memories of that outstanding showing against the hosts in Rio de Janeiro comes in stark contrast to King Khune’s plight in Saturday’s Caf Champions League final.

This fixture may well be one of the toughest moments of his career, as the one-club man had to watch on from the sidelines as Kaizer Chiefs faced Al-Ahly in the biggest match in African club football.
