Diogo Costa is 43% save rate on pens in his senior career

huh, surely not? 

[InigoPatinkin]

Man I wish we'd signed Diogo Costa  he's so ****ing good. 

[kopsy101]

Costa's on fire

[Orzelek]

So easy for Bruno

[GunmaN1905]

Transfermarkt says 10/39, but that's just in matches, without shootouts.

Good for 25%.

I think he mistook him for Diego Alves, Brazilian from Valencia who had 43% rate.

You still doubting it after watching this?

 

[Redshift]

Wow

[Darren Moores Mum]

Ridiculous 

[craigcwwe]

That's why Bruno should've took the penalty during the game. 

[Darius1998]

That's amazing. 

[CFuller]

I'll tell you what, though.

Diogo Costa is bloody brilliant.

[Orzelek]

Costa again  

[Rick87]

Bastard of a penalty for the keeper

Portugal keepers good 

Amazing 

[Astafjevs]

No I didn't mistake Diogo Costa for Diego Alves. 

[Weezer]

Masterclass from Costa but absolute bottle job by Slovenia!

[GunmaN1905]

Horrible penalties, to be fair.

You NEVER shoot mid-height.

Either ground level or go for the top corner.

[Icondacarver]

Who is the Portugal researcher? My Diogo Costa in FM24 does not do this 

[TM]

bit late now but you aim for the corners, Slovenia

[Pukey]

1 minute ago, Smallen said:

huh, surely not? 

Yeah, surely it's higher than 43%  

[InigoPatinkin]

Why do they keep putting it at a saveable height?  

[Rick87]

Keeper!

[Redshift]

Easiest penalty shootout ever.

[CFuller]

Perfect shoot-out for Portugal. So long, Slovenia. 

At least France will make Ronnie cry again on Friday, right? RIGHT?

[kopsy101]

Incredible keeping

[EnterUsernameHere]

At least we still have the Cristiano tears.

[titchuk]

Must be up there for quickest penalty shootout ever!

[craigcwwe]

Costa, wow. 3/3 pen saves. 

[georginho_juventusygr]

Cristiano Ronaldooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[PaulHartman71]

All timer penalty shoot out performance from a keeper that surely. Made every save look easy. 

[Haguey]

I'm sorry Slovenia you have been great tonight but these pens have been diabolical, all keeper height and not in the corners, not good enough

Well done Portugal I guess, can easily beat France too, both teams are *****

[av3ry]

Missing all three penalties. Not the first to that, Spain did the same against Morocco in the last World Cup.

[craigcwwe]

Was so obvious Portugal were winning on pens tbf.

France have probably been as bad as England in their 4 games, could be another poor game

Not to try and make out he had an easy job, but those were about as easy a set of pens to save as you can get

[Freakiie]

Don't think I've ever seen this onesided of a shootout.

None of the Slovenian penalties are great, but still amazing job by Costa.

[aiston]

Slovenia bottles it throwing in some of the worst penalties going

 

[Haguey]

That Sesko chance man, he should be the one in tears now

[InigoPatinkin]

Portugal need to decide whether the Euros or Ronaldo's ego matters more now. Can't keep carrying him awfulness out of some sense of loyalty. Bruno takes the penalty in ET and none of this even needs to happen. 

[Pedwar Pump]

If only they’d let Bruno take the earlier penalty 

[Astafjevs]

You can't really take Ronaldo off now though with penalties a real prospect. Has to stay on the pitch unless Portugal score.

 

9 minutes ago, Astafjevs said:

Diogo Costa is 43% save rate on pens in his senior career. Far better than Oblak.

 

Your home of expert analysis

xwise

EDIT: was actually 30% on pens. Got to add his saves to the overall total

[ThanatosAFC]

Slovenia came close but boring knockouts so far, no big upset so far.

[craigcwwe]

Most drama free penalty shootout I can recall. 

[aiston]

Whatever Keown is on, hope he shares it

 

[SouthCoastRed]

Pleased for Jose Fonte tbh

[PaulHartman71]

Gotta say based off this tournament it looks like we got lucky Sesko turned us down

Ronaldo could actually be explosive from the bench at the 70min mark.

[Astafjevs]

That Ilicic pen is just a great save.
