Khune wants a strong finish

Johannesburg - Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is calling on his team-mates to give their all in the last three matches of the season.

Amakhosi only have the Premier Soccer League title to play for following their defeat to minnows Baroka FC in the Nedbank Cup over the weekend.

Khune is calling for focus from his side as they head into 270 minutes of football which will define their campaign.

"Basically there are 270 minutes ahead of us that can define us and can also be the difference between our season ending off with the title or not," Khune told the club's official website.

"Whatever has happened to us in the season thus far, the disappointments and the victories, is water under the bridge. What happens from here on in counts.

"We have worked well as a team of late in our league games and we need to work for each other and hopefully that will help us to get the results we are looking for," he added.

"We have a strong will and we have done the hard work by getting to within touching distance of the leaders and now that we are so close it is essential that we keep up the pressure on the two teams ahead of us by winning against another title chaser Sundowns (on Sunday)."

Chiefs are currently third - three points behind joint leaders Orlando Pirates and Ajax Cape Town, while Mamelodi Sundowns are two points behind them in fourth.
