Outstanding ... Galekovic's penalty save was a brilliant piece of goalkeeping. Source:News Limited
Adelaide United skipper Eugene Galekovic confirmed his place as one of the A-League's finest goalkeepers on Sunday with a superb save against Wellington.
The Reds had the game in the bag at 3-1 when the Phoenix were awarded a penalty just moments before the final whistle.
Teenager Tyler Boyd stepped up to the penalty spot and fired his shot to Galekovic's right, the Reds shot-stopper thrusting his hand above his head to block the attempt.
And Galekovic's brilliant effort didn't end there as he returned to his feet to block Boyd's second attempt on the rebound.
Fox Sports football commentator Mark Bosnich paid tribute to Galekovic while awarding him his Save of the Week for round 11.
"Outstanding," Bosnich said of Galekovic's effort.
"It's very, very difficult to change your direction in terms of the height that you dive.
"You have to decide as a goalkeeper when you're facing a penalty whether you're going to dive low or a little bit high.
"He decided to go low and halfway through realised he had to put up his left hand and not only that … the agility he showed in getting up."
The former Socceroos keeper said Galekovic's save will have given the Reds some extra confidence ahead of next week's battle with the in-form Western Sydney Wanderers.
"You saw the reaction from his teammates – it fills you with so much confidence as a team when you've got a great goalkeeper behind you," Bosnich said.
