South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune has voiced his displeasure with his own performance during the 2-2 Africa Cup of Nations draw with Morocco on Sunday.
The 25-year-old made a number of saves as the hosts progressed to the knock-out rounds of the tournament, but the absence of a clean sheet left him dissatisfied.
“Honestly speaking I don’t think that was my best performance," said Khune.
"There were a couple of mistakes that I made, which cost the team. There were those crucial saves that I made which also saved the team as well, but overall I don’t think I did justice to myself.
“I didn't keep the clean sheet as I had wished and I think there is still a lot of work to be done. If you look into the first goal that Morocco scored you would realise that it wasn't supposed to be a goal.
“At the end of the day we did well, once again it was a team effort and I am hoping that going forward I will improve on my mistakes."
Khune also said that the fans played a crucial role in lifting team morale and voiced his belief that their collective spirit could see them go far in the tournament.
“It was crazy out there; I think playing in Durban has been amazing. The support that you get from the fans just makes you humble and inspires you to work even harder," he added.
