Vishal Kaith was impressive under the sticks for FC Pune City

Vishal Kaith is probably one of the candidates for the Golden Glove award for being the best goalkeeper of the season. He's been consistently good for the Stallions. He came up with two more excellent saves today to keep out Miku.

In the 74th minute, Miku tried to steer a ball inside the near post after receiving a headed pass from Sunil Chhetri. But Kaith was alert to the danger and scrambled across goal to save the goal-bound effort with his right hand.

And that solid right-hand was called into action once again in the 80th, this time from a free-kick. Toni Dovale's effort from just outside the box on the left, took a deflection off Jonatan Lucca, Kaith was wrong-footed by the deflection, but he recovered in time to keep the ball out with a last-gasp punch.

Bengaluru did score eventually, but Kaith's efforts prevented the hosts from snatching all three points from the game.
