Muslera saves three penalties as Estudiantes reach the final

In the Copa Libertadores semi-final, Estudiantes faced Flamengo at the Maracana Stadium in Brazil. The regular time ended goalless. In the important part of the second half, Estudiantes played with 10 men after Baltasar Rodriguez was sent off, but they still managed to hold out against their opponent.

In the penalty shootout, Fernando Muslera played the lead role. The Uruguayan goalkeeper stopped the shots from Flamengo's Jorginho, Lucas Paqueta and Bruno Henrique that would have found the net. With three crucial saves, he kept Estudiantes in contention for the final.

After saving the last penalty, Muslera danced in front of his goal and celebrated with a gesture reminiscent of Argentina national team goalkeeper Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez's famous celebration. His teammates immediately ran to his side to share the veteran goalkeeper's joy.
