In a tense and exciting Round of 16 clash, the Turkish soccer team pulled off a narrow victory over Austria. Towards the end of the match, the Turkish team was under siege like never before and panic was spreading in the team. However, in the final moments of extra time, goalkeeper Metgulok made a stunning save, deflecting Bamgatron's fatal strike in front of the goal. This is not only regarded as one of the best saves of the year, but also one of the best saves in the history of European countries!
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, the Austrian team attacked from the left and Bamgatron fired a shot from six yards out that flew out like an arrow. Metgulok reacted instantly and blocked the ball. His teammates raised their arms in excitement and cheered, while Bamgatron held his head helplessly and sighed. The stats show that the expected goal value (xGOT) of this offense is a whopping 0.94, meaning that out of 100 attempts, only 6 are expected to be punched out.
Former England international Dyson exclaimed live on ITV: "It was a world-class save, a classic comparable to that of Gordon Binns!" In contrast to England's legendary goalkeeper Gotenbinks, Austrian leader Lanlick also lamented, "As Turkey has a Gotenbinks-like goalkeeper, I would have had enough time to chase and defuse the attack, but it was really very difficult."
