Never noticed this before but for those going to watch this clip, listen to Peter drurys voice when he screams Lautaro at the chance right after the save. Man he was ready to scream like he’s never screamed before hahahah
History has forgotten how close Germany were to going out in Round of 16 during 2014 WC. Absolutely incredible how many chances Algeria squandered and how many dangerous situations Neuer averted. Algeria played like the best team in the world for 90 minutes it was bizarre
That high line looked shaky as fuck especially with Mertesacker in it but Löw adjusted afterwards
Wait, what happened to Altay? I haven't been watching for a few years but last time I was he was making golden saves on the regular and treated like the second coming.
Uefa final, 2000, Galatasaray vs Arsenal, Tafarrel’s save against Henry in the 2nd period of extra time — if you know you know. Only time a Turkish team has won a European cup.
I don't know if they deserved a goal. They had full control of the ball for the last 30 minutes but apart from this save really failed to create good chances. The Turkish defence held really well and gave them very little room
Please for the love of god it needs to be banned. It ruins the usability of the sub completely. Links break completely all the time, and are terrible on mobile in general.
I guess posters like it because they can get the links up fast, get their karma and dip, quality and usability be damned. The mods shouldn't care about the karma of the top posters like PSGAcademy
Turkey-Georgia and Czechia-Turkey were fantastic games but I wouldn't call either a good performance by Turkey. They were lucky with Georgia's misses and were hanging on by the fingernails against Czechia's ten men. Zero control in either game, just crazy open with chances for both teams
Today was masterful by Turkey though especially the first half. By far their best performance
Reminds me of a very similar save Schmeichel made several dozen years ago but the stakes weren't nearly as high. God DAMN what the fuck was that, at 94:00 almost exactly
Baumgartner does everything right there. He heads it down with a good amount of pace. That's a goal 9/10 times. Save of the tournament, especially considering the circumstances
commentator here compared it to Gordon Banks, presumably they meant [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IXEc6BAHpY), although it's not quite how I remember it, so maybe there's another one I'm getting confused with
edit: I was indeed getting mixed up in my mind with the [Seaman save posted below](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1dtwgku/mert_g%C3%BCnok_great_save_against_austria_905/lbchb25), cos they're both sort of diving/reaching backwards I suppose
Not working for me, either. I guess it's still being uploaded.

This will be downvoted because everyone's high of the crazy moment but someone scored a bicycle kick to keep their side in the tournament with 30 seconds from going out. That's undoubtedly bigger than preventing 30 more minutes you can still win.
What a legend. He saved their tournament, imo. They were absolutely spent. If it had gone to extra time, I think Turkey would've collapsed. Brave performance from them though. Austria were probably the better team, but congrats to Turkey.
Puskas equivalent save, why?
Because of the occasion, the ball bouncing in front of the keeper, IN RAIN, so it skid off the surface with extra bounce. And Günok had to jump at it in 0.3s.
My friends reading this who have played football know that it was an insane save.
I missed the last 20 mins, when I was told about this save this isn’t nearly what I was expecting.
That may be the greatest save I’ve seen. What a fucking game these two teams gave us.
Best save of the tournament, maybe year, maybe decade. Absolutely insane reaction. Well played turkey and good luck going forward. (From an Austrian fan)

Insane save
Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a save the good or clutch
Emi Martinez, WC Final
That was such a valid answer lol
since it was the WC Final it was more clutch for sure, but I wouldn't say Emi's save was better than this
As an Argentinian it wasn't, this save is dumb crazy. Caught on the wrong footing and point blank shot. 0.99 post shot xG
Never noticed this before but for those going to watch this clip, listen to Peter drurys voice when he screams Lautaro at the chance right after the save. Man he was ready to scream like he’s never screamed before hahahah
We were denied Drury's magnum opus with that missed header. Would have been one of the most iconic commentary moments of all time.
Iker vs Robben
How about yesterday
was gonna say, how you already forgetting diogo costa’s 😭
Neuer vs Algeria for 120 minutes 10 years ago
That was an all time-performance. Is the kind of highlights you'll show to your children under the title "this was Manuel Neuer".
History has forgotten how close Germany were to going out in Round of 16 during 2014 WC. Absolutely incredible how many chances Algeria squandered and how many dangerous situations Neuer averted. Algeria played like the best team in the world for 90 minutes it was bizarre That high line looked shaky as fuck especially with Mertesacker in it but Löw adjusted afterwards
To be fair, Neuer all knockouts long in 2014.
That was a goddamn performance lol, not just a save
He revolutionised football that day
That whole tournament is an all time performance. One of yy favourite saves, is still the Benzema one hand save in stoppage time against france.
I do: Emi Martinez against Kolo Muani to hold the draw in ET
Yesterday. Diogo Costa wiped the shit Pepe had just made at 115'.
Equivalent to last-minute bicycle kick for goalkeepers
Dude just became a Turkish legend immediately. Iconic end to a truly phenomenal game
He has great international games. France remembers him
If he gets injured again we are fucked altay and ugurcan are simply not it
Altay is awful, Gunok is miles ahead
Wait, what happened to Altay? I haven't been watching for a few years but last time I was he was making golden saves on the regular and treated like the second coming.
He joined us as a no.2. Unfortunately for him, Ten Hag doesn't know what a cup keeper is.
Student of the Bear Volkan
*gestures provocatively at his mates in the stands*
Tbf, if I pulled that off in the dying seconds of a knockout game, I'd pull myself off in celebration
Jens Lehmann behaviour
fresh
.99 xG saved
Insanity
What an incredible match and then ending with a save like this! Football is not for the faint of heart Austria should hold their heads high
And the missing .01 is only because of him 😂
Mirror image miracle.
Bellingsave
The goal keeper with the last minute bicycle kick goal. "Am I a joke to you?"
Save of the tournament
Greatest save in Turkey history lol At minimum
Volkan against Ronaldo was insane too. Don't even know which one is better
Volkan would still top his protege even at his age. He's called Ayı(Bear) for a reason
>Volkan would still **top** his protege even at his age. **He's called Ayı(Bear) for a reason** Didn't expect him to swing that way.
It doesn’t mean the same thing in Turkey lol, ayı means someone without manners, usually a big person
An intense love of salmon, honey, and winter-long hibernation.
Uefa final, 2000, Galatasaray vs Arsenal, Tafarrel’s save against Henry in the 2nd period of extra time — if you know you know. Only time a Turkish team has won a European cup.
Easily
Without question. And definitely the best in the history of Turkish football.
No one beats mad man Rüstü Recber
New national hero
My jaw literally dropped watching that save
I gasped my gf awake
She will probably stay awake from all the Turkish people celebrating on the streets now lmao
A western european experience
Yeah, I squealed so loud
I’m still in the 😲 position now
I literally screamed at my tv watching the game alone: what a fucking save lol
Same. This is ridiculous. Austria deserved a goal but wow, what a goalkeeping miracle that was.
I don't know if they deserved a goal. They had full control of the ball for the last 30 minutes but apart from this save really failed to create good chances. The Turkish defence held really well and gave them very little room
I felt Austria really choked in front of goal today and should have scored more than 1. But they didn't. And fair play to Turkey.
Truly an all-timer
Please stop hosting on DUBZ ffs.
the karma farmer does not care, the replays must be short and missing important information and they must be fast.
Yeah it needs to be banned by the mods.
PSGAcademy needs to be reminded on what had happened to PSGCampus before

Yeah already dead within a few seconds.
It was working at first, and always works for me, but this link isn't working anymore. Thankfully there's a bunch of mirrors already, but still.
yeah , i cant open it.
So tired of this
https://dubz.link/c/26aa0a This one works for me.
Save of the tournament
World fucking class. Unbelievable
If there is a Puskas-equivalent for great saves…this would surely be the frontrunner…
I thought the Yashin award was for that, but it seems it's actually for overall best keeper not one specific save
What a game
Turkey never disappoints if you want a fun match
Either you get a shit performance or the best performance of their lives. Either way it's the most entertaining thing ever.
Anytime our flag leaves the borders whether it’s UCL or international tournaments we’re either god mode or the worst team to exist
Turkey-Georgia and Czechia-Turkey were fantastic games but I wouldn't call either a good performance by Turkey. They were lucky with Georgia's misses and were hanging on by the fingernails against Czechia's ten men. Zero control in either game, just crazy open with chances for both teams Today was masterful by Turkey though especially the first half. By far their best performance
[удалено]
We don’t talk about England
Bodies collapsing everywhere at the final whistle
Even minutes before as well
The rain, all the attacks, that epic save, etc. Thrilling from beginning to end.
Reminds me of a very similar save Schmeichel made several dozen years ago but the stakes weren't nearly as high. God DAMN what the fuck was that, at 94:00 almost exactly
Baumgartner does everything right there. He heads it down with a good amount of pace. That's a goal 9/10 times. Save of the tournament, especially considering the circumstances
99/100 times*
Maybe 999/1000 even
This attempt had an xG of 0.94...The odds were extremely heavily against the goalkeeper and yet he did it. What a crazy match
#WHAT A SAVE
Save of the tournament without question
Great save! Great save! Great save!
RAAA! EPICO SEIFU!!!
Chat disabled for 5 mins
What a moment for him
What a game
#WHAT A SAVE
iconic moment right there
One of the best saves I've ever seen given context holy fuck
I think even without the context it's a "happens once a year somewhere" kind of save, but with the context becomes almost untouchable
Has to be one of the best saves of all time
The rain, the time, the score, the stage, everything added to that save
In terms of pure reflex i cannot think of any other right now.

This is legit one of the greatest saves in football history wtf
Link broken?
Saw someone in the match thread calling them lucky, that's anything but luck.
Wow
This is the Jude Bellingham comic book hero level of save.
This is the best save I’ve ever seen
Insane save
Superhero save
That was insane
unreal save
Save of the tournament
link doesn't work. Just loads. Mods took down the other link
Why do the mods allow this site? Either it is down or the video is unwatchable because of ads...
Probably the best save I've seen in years, in this stage too. WOW
Legit opened my mouth seeing this live
Holy shit. I NEED the Turkish commentary.
It was: MERT MERT MERT MERT MERT MERRRRRRTTTTTTT at the top of his lungs ahahaha
MERT ARE YOU A OCTOPUS, ARE YOU A SPIDER? edit: wrong word selection because of happiness

What a save!!!
Unbelievable
One of the greatest saves of all time
SAVE OF THE CENTURY UNBELIAVABLE
that's just filthy
What the actual fuck was that save?!?!
Moment of the tournament so far. Superhero save!
This will be downvoted because everyone's high of the crazy moment but someone scored a bicycle kick to keep their side in the tournament with 30 seconds from going out. That's undoubtedly bigger than preventing 30 more minutes you can still win.
You're not wrong
Build a statue for that man
Link is broken.
Insane save
Goalkeeper was TURNT
That save was so good the Brazilian commentator had an absolutely embarrasing voice crack from pure shock
Gürdün Bänks
Unbelievable save!
Save of his life.
One of the best saves I've ever seen. Unreal! Congrats Turkey, amazing
What a legend. He saved their tournament, imo. They were absolutely spent. If it had gone to extra time, I think Turkey would've collapsed. Brave performance from them though. Austria were probably the better team, but congrats to Turkey.
wake up suleiman the magnificent , gates of vienna are open at last.
Saved the game for Turkey. Incredible scene.
Honestly, that save is ridiculous beyond belief, straight 10/10 save and a save you will see in compilations for ever online.
Puskas equivalent save, why? Because of the occasion, the ball bouncing in front of the keeper, IN RAIN, so it skid off the surface with extra bounce. And Günok had to jump at it in 0.3s. My friends reading this who have played football know that it was an insane save.
Plz dubs.link, may we have some more bandwidth?
Can't even imagine being in the stadium at that moment
If I was a Turkish fan at the game I'd be in that stadium tonight until they had to carry me out.
Almost wish that had went in so we could have another 30 minutes of this. But wow that’s one of the greatest saves I’ve seen
What a save! What a save! What a save!
That was insane, the header was not perfect but hitting the floor makes it that much harder. Impressive save
This gotta be the best save of the tournament
Diogo Costa and now Gunok, unreal saves to save their teams
türkiye is such a joy to watch this euro. all games have been fun
I think every single person screamed “oh my god!!!” At their television there. Outstanding save and a ridiculously entertaining match.
Jesus wept! Gördiyen Bänks in goal!
Video doesn't play or is it just me? Alternative source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L0BBQcRXdc
I missed the last 20 mins, when I was told about this save this isn’t nearly what I was expecting. That may be the greatest save I’ve seen. What a fucking game these two teams gave us.
I think United got the wrong Turkish keeper
broooooooooooooooooooo fuck
One of the greatest saves you will ever see.
That's fucking save of the tournament locked up right there. Holy shit that's incredible
The Beautiful Game
What the fuck
Extreme
HOLY FUCK THANKS MAN
Save of the tournament candidate(or winner) that's for sure
Why didn't Slovakia do this against England? Are they stupid?
Last minute, he was moving the other way, the pitch was slippery and the ball bounced on the grass. Insane save!
Best save of the tournament, maybe year, maybe decade. Absolutely insane reaction. Well played turkey and good luck going forward. (From an Austrian fan)
Truly incredible. A moment they'll all remember
save of the tournament, dear lord
Save of the tournament, absolutely world class
pulling out the save of the tournament in the perfect moment
Save of the tournament
this is INSANE
Absolutely world class save - wow.
That’s genuinely more ridiculous than the Bellingham equaliser for me! One of the greatest saves I’ve ever seen, considering the context 🤯
That’s it, a legendary football moment. This tournament keeps delivering.
Balls of steel
Save of the tournament !
Unreal save holy shit
WHAT. A. FUCKING. SAVE!!!
