In a heated match of the 4th round of the German championship, Werder Bremen hosted Freiburg at home and suffered a heavy defeat in front of their fans. The Bremen club lost 0-3, but in this match, the focus was not on the goals, but on the visitors' goalkeeper, Noah Atubolu.
The 23-year-old goalkeeper not only played a "dry" game but also saved his team in the crucial moment. To avoid defeat after the third goal, Werder had the opportunity to take a penalty in the 59th minute. However, the home side's player, Romano Schmid, skillfully saved Atubolu's shot, impressing the fans in an instant.
According to experts from the Opta Statistics Center, Atubolu managed to save five consecutive penalties. No goalkeeper in Bundesliga history has ever achieved such a result. In this respect, the young footballer left a bright mark not only in the history of his team, but also in the history of German football.
Freiburg's coaches and players say Atubolu can be considered the team's most reliable support at the moment. His resilience, focus, and ability to act on time are giving the team even more strength.
Fans are writing on social media that they see the young goalkeeper as one of the main candidates for the German national team in the future. Atubolou can be called a hero of the day, as he not only set a record but also played a decisive role in Freiburg's resounding victory.
