Bafana Bafana captain Itumeleng Khune has explained his remostration with match officials in second half of the game against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on Sunday.

Khune was seen going up and down during the second half and after the match, he explained the reason for his restlessness.

“I hope people from home saw what happens when you play away. Their goalkeeper kept going down [to waste time] and the ball boys kept throwing the balls away but when we play at home and I do that, it is a problem,” Khune says.

“I get criticised by our own supporters so I hope they saw what’s happening when we play away.”

Nonetheless, Khune feels the boys gave their all under the circumstances. “It is not easy, but we came here [Addis Ababa] and we gave it our all,” he adds.
