Watch: LAFC keeper Hugo Lloris saves penalty… by sitting on the ball
Wednesday’s MLS matchup between LAFC and Real Salt Lake was full of highlight moments which included a Son Heung-min hat-trick, an incredible bicycle kick for RSL and one of the more peculiar penalty saves.
The Hugo Lloris penalty save vs RSL caught our attention as we’ve never seen a goalkeeper stop a spot kick by sitting on the ball. In the 56th minute Real Salt Lake looked to halve the deficit after being awarded a penalty kick.
Rwan Cruz’s attempt then hit off the post and rolled to an unsuspecting Lloris who sat on the ball.
