The goalkeepers at this year's ISL have not exactly bathed themselves in glory with plenty of gaffes witnessed from the custodians thus far.

Subrata Paul almost made another contribution to that at the very beginning of the game when he came to collect a ball, flapped hopelessly and missed it altogether. Luckily for him, it eventually went out for a goal-kick.

In that context, Vishal Kaith in Pune's goal was excellent. He was confident every time he came out to collect the ball. There were no half-hearted punches, but clean gathers from Kaith.

His movement from post-to-post was also very good as his body positioning for the shots that came his way were also spot on. In a game like this, decided by fine margins, a strong goalkeeping performance certainly goes a long way and it proved instrumental for Pune in the end.
