Noah Atubolu Makes History with Bundesliga Penalty Record

Noah Atubolu, the 23-year-old goalkeeper for SC Freiburg, has officially etched his name into the history books of the German Bundesliga. The talented shot-stopper, who is eligible to represent Nigeria, has become the first goalkeeper in the league's history to save five consecutive penalties.

The record-breaking save came over the weekend in Freiburg's match against Werder Bremen, where Atubolu brilliantly denied a spot-kick to secure his fifth successive stop. His remarkable run of penalty saves is as follows:

• 2x vs. Union Berlin - May 2024

• 1x vs. Leverkusen - December 2024

• 1x vs. Werder Bremen - February 2025

• 1x vs. Werder Bremen - September 2025
