Turkey Goalkeeper is sent off by referee after saving two Penalties; the defender that replaces him saves Third Penalty (Video)
In Turkey, Goalkeeper Ersin Aydin surely had a day he’ll never forget as he helped his club Usakspor beat Turkish third-tier rivals Ergene Velimese.
Ersin had a day most goalkeepers can only wish for, as he saved two penalties but was yellow-carded twice for coming out of his line, so after he was sent off against Ergene Velimese, his replacement, defender Levent Aktug stopped another spot-kick in a thrilling game on Sunday evening.
The match which was still 2-0 as at stoppage time, would have had a more damaging scoreline had Ersin let the penalties be scored- but not only did Ersin keep his team in the game, his teammate came up and saved a penalty as he had no backup keeper.
Watch the thrilling video below:
