Ukrainian goalkeeper hits his team's own goal, making Benfica lose to Barcelona. Video
Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin became the main disappointment during the Champions League match against Barcelona in Round 7. The 23-year-old Ukrainian failed terribly, hiting his team's own goal with a head shot.
In the 64th minute of the match, with the score 3-1 in favor of the Portuguese club, Trubin kicked the ball into the field. It then hit Raphinha's head and flew back into the goal.
After that, the Portuguese club's game sunk. After 4 minutes, the score was already 4:2, but it happened thanks to a Catalan penalty kick. In the remaining time, Barcelona managed to hit the Ukrainian's goal three times and eventually snatched a 5-4 victory.
It's worth noting that Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny also had a bad moment in this match. The Pole almost knocked out his teammate in the first half, after which Benfica scored an easy goal.
On January 12, Trubin became a real hero in the Portuguese League Cup match against Sporting. Our compatriot played the full match and saved a decisive shot by Francisco Trincao in the penalty shootout.
Trubin predicted the direction of the shot and was able to hit the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal. After that, Benfica fans, gathered at the Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa in Leiria, burst into applause.
