Manchester United loanee Matej Kovar produced a fantastic save against Iceland to help the Czech Republic qualify for the U21 European Championships.
The play-off took place last night and Czech Republic found themselves on the front foot ahead of the game having won the first leg 2-1.
Last night’s game ended goalless, but Kovar deserves a lot of credit for keeping a clean sheet that secured qualification for his nation.
Kovar, who is on loan at Sparta Prague, showcased his shot-stopping ability and reflexes to deny Iceland a goal in injury time.
In the video below, you can see how Kovar’s teammates rushed to him to thank him for getting them out of trouble.
