Atubolu Makes History with Five Penalty Saves

Freiburg’s 23-year-old Nigerian goalkeeper Noah Atubolu made Bundesliga history by saving five consecutive penalties, a feat never achieved before.

On that day, Freiburg faced Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga and won 3-0.

In that match, Noah Atubolu distinguished himself by stopping Romano Schmid’s penalty kick at the hour mark.

This save may seem trivial, but it allowed him to write his name in the Bundesliga record books.

He simply became the first goalkeeper in the history of the German league to stop five consecutive penalty kicks.
