Diogo Costa’s stunning record puts him top of the world ranking

After six matches, FC Porto has only conceded one goal - it was at Alvalade, in the classic match against Sporting, when Nehuén Pérez scored an own goal. This record even contributes to the world ranking lead attributed to Diogo Costa.

According to CIES, the goalkeeper and captain of FC Porto has, among 45 first division leagues, an average of one goal conceded for every 60 shots from opponents, surpassing Peruvian Daniel Prieto, from Alianza Atlético, who concedes a goal every 57 shots.
