Kaizer Chiefs beat Cape Town City on penalties in the Round of 16 of the Telkom Knockout Cup on Saturday.
With the match ending 1-1 at full-time, Amakhosi keeper Daniel Akpeyi became the hero in the shootout, as his saves dramatically won the match for the visitors.
Even though the Nigerian produced a number of good performances earlier this season as Chiefs topped the PSL table, the fans were still calling for the return of Itumeleng Khune.
When Khune got injured soon after returning, the supporters realised they have to get behind Akpeyi.
The hurt keeper has recently stated he is his only supporter in South Africa as he felt left out from the fans' affection due to the overwhelming preference for the popular Bafana Bafana keeper.
From South African social media on Saturday night, we notice Akpeyi is beginning to win over many Chiefs fans now. He's turned them around thanks to his match-winning performances and there's no better way to silence your critics than on the field.
Though, there are still a few fans who thanked him with a photo of Khune, or found a reason to criticise a few moments during the game.
You can enjoy the Twitter reaction, including a video of the fans at the Cape Town Stadium, thanks to Chiefs' media officer Vina Maphosa.

Does Akpeyi have to alternate between being world class and absolute clown boss all the time?
ÂÂ
Akpeyi makes routine saves and he's celebrated. I don't celebrate mediocrity. The guy is average, sometimes even poor. I'll give it to him for saving the penalty, otherwise...😟
ÂÂ
I owe Akpeyi an apology, i am sorry my brother for ever doubting you. pic.twitter.com/wEDY2Qq05w
ÂÂ
When Akpeyi does well, I'll say so. I'm not gonna stop giving him credit just because he has made some mistakes. Ngibulaleni ke pic.twitter.com/27vigPxghV
ÂÂ
I would like to take this opportunity and wholeheartedly apologise to Daniel Akpeyi for ever talking bad and doubting him.He's proven himself countless times to me and now I give in.Mazinyo, props to you too. You're doing a good job#TKO2019 #Amakhosi4Life
ÂÂ
Khune would've saved the shot from Erasmus. Big technical fault of Akpeyi is he always seems to be on his heels. It means he can't explode into a dive when needed. If you watch him when he dives, he tends to fall over like a felled tree. #TKO2019 pic.twitter.com/1FDIOIWP3q
ÂÂ
Let's applaud DANIEL AKPEYI from the play to the penalties he was outstanding !!! #Amakhosi4Life #TKO2019
ÂÂ
Akpeyi will make some good saves at times. But he's the kind of keeper that you hold your breath each time a shot goes his way no matter how harmless it looks. And that's not a good thing
ÂÂ
That wasn't even a dangerous ball but Akpeyi with butter hands made it look difficult... he is so shit
