KSI jokingly fought three YouTubers before saving a penalty during the Sidemen charity match on Saturday afternoon.
The annual fixture, which raises millions of pounds for charity, took place at the London Stadium in front of around 60,000 fans. Sidemen FC faced YouTube All-Stars, with KSI playing as a goalkeeper for the first time due to his upcoming fight with Tommy Fury.
KSI will take on the Love Island favourite in a boxing match next month. The YouTuber-turned-rapper-turned-boxer decided to play in net to avoid injuring himself outfield, but he still had to evade a number of punches and kicks from three opposing players.
Chunkz, IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat all tried to get under KSI's grill after a penalty was given against Sidemen FC. Thankfully, the three YouTubers weren't actually attacking KSI and it was all just a bit of fun to entertain the millions of fans watching the live stream.
"Look at me Speed! You're not scoring!" shouted KSI as Chunkz launched a kick in his direction. As it turned out, Speed missed the penalty. His tame effort was tipped around the post by KSI, who responded by doing Cristiano Ronaldo's "suiiii" celebration.

KSI will be delighted to finish Saturday afternoon's game unscathed ahead of his big fight. The 30-year-old has boxed just once professionally during his career, beating fellow YouTuber Logan Paul by split decision in November 2019.
KSI has since took part in a number of exhibition fights. His most recent was against Joe Fournier, but it was ruled as a no contest due to an illegal elbow strike by KSI.
Fury, meanwhile, has won all nine of his professional fights. His most recent victory was against Jake Paul, the brother of Logan, with the result being a split decision. The 24-year-old's fight with KSI on October 14 will be classed as an exhibition bout.

KSI has tried to get underneath Fury's skin ahead of the fight. He has told him: "October 14, this will be the day that you'll hate for the rest of your life. When I beat you, with every year that you breathe, that day will be a constant reminder that you lost to a YouTuber."
KSI's comments came during an appearance on Good Morning Britain. He also insisted that his opponent will be "a disgrace to the Fury name" before adding: "You don't want this as much as I do. You don't need this as much a I do... I'll see you soon."
Fury said: “This is an easy win for me, I’m training like I’m training for an undisputed world title fight. When I jump in the ring with KSI he will quickly realise that fighting a YouTuber is completely different to fighting a professional boxer.
"All his singing, podcasting, his business, it will all be finished as mark my words, he’ll be leaving Manchester Arena in an ambulance. I can quite clearly guarantee it."
