The Brazilian got 10 of the 20 that they threw at him … for nine of 29 of the Slovenian
Joselu, against Alavés. Ocampos, against Sevilla. Two maximum penalties, the same result. We are talking, of course, about penalties that Jan Oblak stopped in the last two games. The first, in addition, gave Atlético two points that helped him go into the break with a win. The second, kept the rojiblancos in a match in which Acuña left Simeone’s men without points in their locker.
Be that as it may, these two duels have served to to destroy the legend of not stopping penalties of the Slovenian. Two maximum penalties that raise to nine that he has stopped since he arrived at Atlético in 2014 at 29 that they have thrown him between all the competitions (always without counting the penalty shootouts, where he was marked by the Champions and Super Cup finals). Two penalties, we said, to turn the rojiblanco 13 into the second goalkeeper who has stopped the most in these seven years.
In fact, barely Diego alves, of all the goalkeepers who have passed through LaLiga since then, he has been able to hit more times before the forward of the shift. The Brazilian, yes, presents incomparable numbers … by stopping 10 of the 20 who shot him.
BONO ADVANCES YOU IN ZAMORA
The Sevilla match, on the negative plane for the goal and Atlético, tightens the fight for Zamora even more. With Acuña Oblak’s goal, he raised to 19 the goals conceded in 29 games (0.65 on average). His main persecutor, the sevillista Bond, left a clean sheet and is placed in front with 16 his goals conceded in 25 games (0.64). A situation that complicates the rojiblanco’s attempt to win his fifth least-thrashed goalkeeper trophy in LaLiga.
