Let’s just get something straight, the goalkeeper you are about to watch had no right to save any of these shots. If the strikers he was facing had put the ball anywhere pretty much anywhere except where they put them, they would have scored. But they didn’t, and now I can calmly say that the world just might be a better place for it. Close range tap in goals are a dime a dozen, but three superhuman saves in a row? That’s something worth writing about.
This apparently took place in the Romanian league, according to /r/soccer. Then again, the username of the poster is “distrus,” which is either a play on “distress” or “distrust,” and doesn’t exactly raise the poster’s credibility in my book.
The name of the goal keeper is Alessandro Caparco, and he does in fact play for CSM Studențesc Iași in the Romanian League (touché, /r/soccer, you win this round).
I had never heard of Studențesc Iași before this, and I’m probably not alone in this. The club is only 6 years old: a neat little fact that might mean the three superhuman saves you just saw are the greatest feat of goal keeping the club has literally ever seen.
Literally making history...maybe. Photo: Streamable
Neat.
