Pedro Gallese’s brilliant save to avoid Luis Abram’s own goal | VIDEO

Pedro Gallese was one of the figures in Peru’s victory (1-0) over Colombia, for matchday 15 of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. In fact, the ‘Octopus’ saved the ‘Blanquirroja’ with several interventions. Even, in a play, the goalkeeper prevented what was going to be Luis Abram’s own goal.

At minute 78, Gallese flew to prevent the ball from entering his goal. The action occurred after a header by Abram, who reacted so that the ball did not reach Miguel Borja, who was just behind him, waiting for the opportunity to score.
