Radimov Highlights Key Factor Behind Safonov's Heroics

Former Zenit midfielder Vladislav Radimov highlighted key details about Matvey Safonov's heroic performance during the "PSG" vs. "Flamengo" match. According to the expert, the Parisian team could have secured victory during regular time.

In that scenario, Safonov would not have been remembered as a hero but rather as an antihero. "In football, details decide a lot of things.

At the end of regular time, Marquinhos missed an open goal. If he had scored, we would be saying 'PSG won, and Matvey conceded just one penalty goal,'” Radimov said during a broadcast on "Match TV."

Ultimately, Safonov saved four penalty kicks in the post-match shootout, becoming the first goalkeeper in FIFA tournament history, spanning 121 years, to achieve this milestone. Specialists now believe the Russian player deserves a permanent spot in PSG's starting lineup.
