Leo consolidates his negative record
The goalkeeper of the Egyptian national team Mostafa Shubert saved the penalty kick of the captain of the Argentine national team Lionel Messi in the match of the two teams at the “Atalanta” stadium of the final of the 2026 World Cup today, Tuesday evening.
French referee Francois Lettxer awarded Argentina a penalty after Haitham Hassan tripped Nicolas Tagliafico. In the 21st minute, Messi made a shot, but Mustafa Schubert prevented him by blocking it.
Schubert wrote his name in golden letters at the 2026 World Cup after becoming the only goalkeeper to save two penalties at this World Cup.
The first goal he scored came against Mehdi Taremi in a 1-1 draw against Iran at the end of the group stage.
According to “Mr. Cheap” network, Schubert became the fourth goalkeeper in history to save 211 meters in a World Cup match, after Tomaszewski (Poland 1974), Friedel (USA 2002) and Szczesny (Poland 2022).
On the other hand, Opta reported that Lionel Messi is the first player in World Cup history to miss two penalties in one game (without penalties).
Messi missed the first shot in the group stage game in Austria, which ended in a tango victory (2-0).
Messi also strengthened his negative record in the World Cup by missing the most penalties as he took 8 shots, scoring only 4.
It is noteworthy that Yasser Ibrahim gave Pharaohs an early goal with a header in the 15th minute.
