Legendary goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune endured the heaviest defeat of his illustrious Kaizer Chiefs career after the Soweto giants suffered a humbling defeat to AmaZulu in the DStv Premiership by a scoreline of 4-0.
The defeat goes down as the club's joint-heaviest loss after a similar scoreline to Mamelodi Sundowns earlier this season.

For Khune it was also the first time he has conceded four goals in a league match since making his debut against Jomo Cosmos in August 2007.
On Friday, Khune was beaten by two headers courtesy of two former teammates in Dumisani Zuma and Ramahlwe Mphahlele with both goals coming courtesy of assists from another former Chiefs player George Maluleka.
Sede Junior Dion and Bonginkosi Ntuli then added another two to complete the famous massacre of Chiefs.
The two occasions that Khune conceded in a match wasn't in a league match.
In February 2021, he was in goals in a 4-0 CAF Champions League defeat away to Wydad Casablanca in a match that was played in Burkina Faso due to covid-19 related matters.
He conceded another four goals against Mamelodi Sundowns in the 2012 MTN8 in what was Stuart Baxter's first game in charge.
In the league, the worst for Khune had only been three goals which has happened in 13 games with the first having been against Maritzburg United in 2008 and the most recent against Sundowns in 2020.
Orlando Pirates is the only club that has been able to fire three past Khune in three matches while Sundowns and SuperSport have done it twice with the rest of the clubs doing it once.
He has kept 127 cleans in 278 league games conceding 216 through that time.
The rest of his appearances have come in other competitions which include the MTN8, Telkom KnockOut, Nedbank Cup, and CAF club competitions.
Khune has fought his way back this season but has conceded nine goals in eight league games with his contract expiring at the end of June.
