The Ukrainian “brought” a goal in the match with Visela, but then saved the penalty and wrote himself into the history of Benfica
Ukrainian goalkeeper Benfica Anatoly Trubin commented on his performance in the match Portuguese Championship against Wiesels (6:1).
“Great win for the team. Mistakes happen and make us stronger when we learn from them. The next step after a mistake is important. Therefore, now the focus is on further work.”
