AFCON 2024: with its 4 penalties saved, world record for Williams (videos)

According to the statistics of the sports account “Stats Foot”, the feat of the South African goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams, who was the icon of the evening by blocking four opposing shots, including the first three, therefore propelling his team into the last four of the competition, will remain engraved in the records of football!

Before him, no goalkeeper had ever accomplished such a performance (4 saves) during a penalty shootout at the World Cup, the Euro or even the Copa America. Indeed, a similar feat is signed, in clubs, by Helmuth Duchadam, the goalkeeper of Steaua Bucharest who achieved it in the final of the 1986 Champions League against FC Barcelona (0-0, 2-0).
