Goalkeeping Museum

We found this footage of a great Angelo Peruzzi penalty save from 1988/89 Serie A season from Italy where Roma took on Atalanta.

With the Romans leading 2-0, they looked good for victory, until a penalty was awarded to Atalanta.

Angelo Peruzzi, who would later enjoy a long period as Italian first choice goal keeper, made a terrific save right in the bottom right hand corner.

Notice how he makes little of the save, and distributes the ball well to start off another Roma counter-attack, compare this to the reaction of Buffon, the present day Italian keeper, when he saves a pen!
