What's the story?
Itumeleng Khune's performance against Stellenbosch in the MTN 8 was spotlighted by his penalty saves.
A moment that went slightly under the radar was Khune showing the utmost composure when chose to chest control a long-range shot instead of saving it with his hands.
Ronwen Williams has also done something similar... Let's take a look at which keep showed the most composure.
Khune Vs Williams
Khune is eager to regain the number one goalkeeper spot at Kaizer Chiefs and made a great case for his cause after Sunday's win over Stellies.
He posted a moment of brilliance where he, as mentioned, chest controlled the ball instead of using his hands to make the save:

Both keepers are great distributors of the ball. Khune is more highly regarded for this aspect of the game though.
The Chiefs keeper has mastered the art of pinging the ball with deadly accuracy. Here are a few clips of his distribution:
