In a historic moment, Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel snatched an important draw for his team from its Spanish guest, Atletico Madrid, in the first round of Group E in the Champions League, following his fellow players were unable to score once morest the visitors throughout the 90 minutes.
Atletico took the lead in the 29th minute, with a goal by Pablo Barrios, and the score remained the same until the final moments, when goalkeeper Providel scored the equalizer with a header in the fifth minute of stoppage time, bringing the match to an end with a score of 1-1.
Providel’s goal is the first for a goalkeeper in the Champions League since Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama’s goal in 2010, for Hapoel Tel Aviv once morest Lyon.
We review the most prominent goals scored by goalkeepers in the world of football:
“Turkish heroism” moment
In 2009, Turkish Sinan Polat saved his Belgian team, Standard Liège, from defeat once morest Dutch club AZ Alkmaar, and scored the “deadly” equalizer in the last minute.
Polat was the first goalkeeper to score a goal without a penalty kick in the competition, and he did so with a valuable header in the 95th minute that saved the Belgian club and helped it qualify for the round of 16.
Juventus knot
Simply put, German Hans Jörg Butt is one of the highest scoring goalkeepers in football to ever play the game.
The former Germany international scored 32 goals in all competitions during his career, an impressive number that places him in the top ten of the all-time list, and he holds the record for the most goals scored by a goalkeeper in the Champions League, with three.
Curiously, Bate’s hat-trick of Champions League penalties were all scored for different clubs but came once morest the same opponent, with Juventus on the receiving end each time.
Butt’s first goal for Hamburg came in a tense 4-4 draw once morest Juventus in the group stage of the Champions League in 2000.
The second goal helped Bayer Leverkusen reach the 2002 final, and was the opening goal in a 3-1 win over Juventus in the second group stage.
Six years later, Butt scored his third goal in the tournament, this time for Bayern Munich during a 4-1 victory over Juventus in 2010, which led to Bayern Munich qualifying to the round of 16.
Alisson “the savior of the Reds”
Liverpool was close to losing its Champions League qualifying spot, before the header of Brazilian “savior” Alisson Becker, and his famous header in 2021.
Alisson snatched victory for Liverpool once morest West Bromwich Albion, with a famous header, and Liverpool qualified for the most expensive tournament the following season.
Vikings shot
Danish legend Peter Schmeichel had his share of goals, when he scored a goal for Aston Villa once morest Everton in the English Premier League in 2001, with a wonderful shot in the final minutes.
Schmeichel’s goal did not prevent Aston Villa’s defeat, but it put him on the list of “top scorers.”
The crazy guard
Colombian Higuita is considered by many to be a comedic and lively character thanks to his famous move, the “scorpion kick” in a friendly match once morest England.
Higuita did not hesitate to play as a striker sometimes, and he also scored a wonderful goal from a free kick for his team, Atletico Nacional, once morest River Plate, which proved that the long-haired goalkeeper is not just a “show” player.
A hat-trick for a goalkeeper
Like his compatriot Higuita, beloved Paraguayan goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert also had attacking talent, so much so that he once scored a hat-trick of penalty kicks for Velez Sarsfield once morest Ferro Carril Oeste.

132 goals for the legendary goalkeeper
Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni, the goalkeeper with the highest goalscoring average in the history of football, retired in 2015 with 132 goals to his name, all thanks to his specialty in taking penalty kicks and free kicks.
His 100th goal, which he scored with Sao Paulo once morest Corinthians, is considered one of the “crazy” goals in Brazilian football.
The most beautiful goal by a goalkeeper
South African goalkeeper Oscaren Masuluke’s goal, which earned Baroka a draw once morest Orlando Pirates last year, is the most beautiful goal by a goalkeeper in history.
Masuluki’s “scissors” was nominated for the Puskas Award, which is awarded to the most beautiful goal around the world during the year.
‘Glamorous’ goalkeepers are valued for their ability to prevent goals, but it is their scoring that immortalizes their names in the history books.
