Diogo Costa saved a penalty against Brugge, his third in a row.
Porto avenged Brugge for a devastating defeat at home in the first round. In the game, the “dragons” also beat the opponent big with a score of 4:0.
Last but not least, this was made possible thanks to the great game of the Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
In the 50th minute of the match, with the score 1:0, a penalty was awarded to Porto, which Hans Vanaken hit first. The goalkeeper coped with the Belgian’s blow, but the referee of the match saw a violation, so he forced him to kill the 11 meter one.
Now the Dutchman Noah Lang came to the point, but he also failed to beat the Portuguese. Thus, the gatekeeper of Porto set a unique victory in the Champions League.
This penalty was the third 11-meter save for Costa in this tournament draw, which is a record figure in a single Champions League.
In the past, the Portuguese keeper has withstood strikes by Bayer footballers Kerem Demirbay and Patrick Schick.
