Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa (24) saved three penalties against Slovenia in the round of 16 of the European Nations Championship “Euro 2024” yesterday Monday, setting a record, especially keeping a clean sheet at Euro 2024. He also saved a 120-minute “match era”, the original time was 90 minutes, and two additional 30-minute times.
Costa became the first goalkeeper in the history of the European Cup and the World Cup to not concede a goal in 120 minutes, and did not concede any goal in the penalty shootout phase. He also became the first goalkeeper in history to save three penalties in the European Cup.
Costa won the man of the match award as he was a key reason why his country reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The match between Portugal and Slovenia ended in a goalless draw after extra time, but Ronaldo missed a penalty in the first extra time, and the two teams entered a penalty shootout, where Portugal took the lead and scored three points. Slovenia missed the first three goals, and Portugal won and advanced.
