Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has weighed in on the club's penalty-taking decisions during their 2-1 comeback victory over Siwelele FC in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals.

Amakhosi booked their place in the semi-finals after overcoming an early setback at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday evening.

Siwelele took the lead in the 11th minute through Siyabonga Ndebele, who headed home from a corner. Chiefs were later awarded a penalty after Mfundo Vilakazi was fouled inside the box. However, Mduduzi Shabalala failed to convert, sending his effort over the crossbar.

The Soweto giants received another penalty in first-half stoppage time after Shabalala was brought down by Ndebele. This time, Wandile Duba stepped up and confidently converted to restore parity.

Khune believes Duba should have been entrusted with both penalties, particularly given the striker's composure from the spot.

Duba's equaliser helped Chiefs regain momentum, while substitute Asanele Velebayi completed the comeback with an 84th-minute winner, scoring his first goal for the club.

The victory secured Chiefs a semi-final meeting with Mamelodi Sundowns.

Khune's comments have also raised questions about Chiefs' penalty-taking hierarchy as they prepare for another important knockout encounter.
