Raul Gudino becomes newest Clasico Nacional hero with penalty save

Raul Gudino bent his knees, dove to his right, stopped a penalty, and became a Chivas hero.

The 22-year-old goalkeeper already had been the best player in a 1-1 draw in the Clascio Nacional against America, stopping four dangerous shots from America as the match entered stoppage time. It all nearly came unraveled. Gudino was whistled for a penalty when he came off his line to clear out a ball over the top. He got the ball, but referee Cesar Arturo Ramos ruled the goalkeeper also had taken out the man. Up stepped Mateus Uribe with the chance to give America the victory in the rivalry match.
