In the last match, Oblak showed that, despite the criticism, he is also an expert at saving penalties. He managed to save a vital one against Alaves when Atletico were winning 1-0.
This Sunday, the Slovenian was once again the hero, but Sevilla were the ones who saw their penalty saved. It was the second league game in a row that he had managed to save a spot kick.
Before the 10th minute, Saul fouled Rakitic inside the box and referee Jesus Gil Manzano gave a penalty to Sevilla.
Lucas Ocampos was the man to take the penalty, but the Argentine was denied by Oblak. Oblak dived to his left and kept the score at 0-0.
Oblak once again saved an Atletico side who started poorly, but Sevilla were denied by one of the best keepers in the world.
