Shakhtar Goalkeeper Sets Champions League Record
The standout performer in the PSV vs. Shakhtar Donetsk clash was undoubtedly Shakhtar’s goalkeeper, Dmytro Riznyk. His heroic efforts between the posts kept his team in the game, preserving the suspense until the very last moments of a dramatic encounter.
Riznyk’s performance was one for the history books. During the match in Eindhoven, he set a new Champions League record for the most saves in a single game. The Ukrainian goalkeeper stopped an incredible 15 shots on target, surpassing the previous record of 13 saves set by Omri Glazer of Crvena Zvezda.
A Season of Heroics
This isn’t the first time Riznyk has delivered a stellar performance in this season’s Champions League. Shakhtar’s defensive vulnerabilities have often put their goalkeeper in the spotlight, giving him ample opportunities to showcase his remarkable skill set. Yesterday’s match was yet another example of why Riznyk is quickly becoming one of the standout players of the tournament.
