Lille Defeats Roma as Goalkeeper Saves Three Straight Penalty Kicks

Keeper reacting after crucial stops — The goalkeeper's brilliance came in the final 10 mins

LOSC Lille goalkeeper the Turkish keeper incredibly denied 3 consecutive spot-kicks in the closing minutes of their European victory over Roma.

The French side led through Hakon Arnar Haraldsson's sixth-minute goal after he took advantage of an mistake to find the net.

But hosts Roma were awarded the perfect opportunity to equalise and secure a draw when they were awarded an late spot-kick after hand ball by Mandi.

Substitute Dovbyk stepped forward to take the penalty but his attempt was blocked, only for official Erik Lambrechts to instruct a second attempt after the keeper was ruled to have moved off his line.

Dovbyk took the kick once more only to be stopped a second time by the away goalkeeper, but on this occasion the Turkish international was deemed to have moved ahead too early.

Responsibility to execute the final kick was then handed to Soule, but he too was denied by Ozer and this time the stop stood to help ensure Lille's success.

AS Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini said following the match: "I've never seen 3 saved penalties in a single match. It was an nearly rare random situation, which ultimately influenced the outcome."
