Ukrainian goalkeeper became a hero in the Portuguese Cup, making a shutout for Benfica. Video

Benfica's Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatolii Trubin made a shutout in the 1/16 finals of the Portuguese Football Cup. The 22-year-old Ukrainian national team player showed great performance in the Lisbon team's 2-0 victory over Famalicao.

Shutout: a dry game, also known as a shutout, is a term from ice hockey, which stands for a game in which a team does not give the opponent a single point, such as a game without a goal in football. A shutout is usually considered a merit of the goalkeeper.

Anatolii came out in the starting lineup and made 6 saves in the match (4 of them inside the penalty area). The authoritative statistical portal SofaScore rated the Ukrainian's performance with 8.2 (second-best in the match).

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on November 5, the Ukrainian goalkeeper had an extremely unsuccessful first half in the away match of the 4th round of the Champions League against Spanish Real Sociedad. Our compatriot conceded 5 goals, 2 of which were disallowed. In addition, the hosts did not score a penalty.

Trubin joined Benfica on August 10. The Donetsk native was sold for €10 million plus a €1 million bonus.

He managed to play in 13 matches in all tournaments for the Eagles, conceding 11 goals. He made shutouts in 5 matches.
