Video: Feyenoord keeper makes wonder save to deny opposition goalkeeper

What a save!

Two goalkeepers played a starring role in the Dutch top flight at the weekend.

Feyenoord earned a comprehensive 2-1 away victory over FC Dordrecht in the Eredivisie on Sunday and it took a moment of magic from shots-topper Kenneth Vermeer to secure victory in the 11th hour.

Dordrecht made the Hail Mary play in injury time when they brought goalkeeper Filip Kurto up for a corner kick. The cross was weighted beautifully for Kurto to get his head on the end of it and he directed a magnificent header that looked destined for the top corner.

However, Kurto was denied the glory of salvaging a point for his team when opposite number Vermeer made an acrobatic leap to stop the ball from sailing into the net.

Check out Dordrecht’s incredibly entertaining last throw of the dice in the video embedded below.
