Chiefs and Devils

July 21, 2008

Newlands hosted the first match of the Vodacom Challenge on Saturday. Craig and his new Vuvuzela went along to see how Kaizer Chiefs fared against champions of Europe, Manchester United. See the pics here.

A 1-1 draw was probably a fair result, as Chiefs created many chances.  They did, however have their keeper, Ithumeleng Khune to thank for keeping them in the match.  He pulled off some awesome saves, the best being, the one on one situation with Wazza (Wayne Rooney) late in the first half.

The crowd was in good spirits and very well behaved, although my concept of personal space was not shared by all.  In the end a very enjoyable afternoon.  Really looking forward to 2010 now.  Heres a small clip.
