Palmeiras loanee Kaique saves penalty as Nacional avoid relegation in Portugal

Palmeiras loanee Kaique saved a late penalty as Nacional da Ilha da Madeira beat Vitória de Guimarães 2-0 to secure Portuguese top-flight safety on the final weekend.

The stop came late in the second half with the score at 1-0, and was the fourth penalty the Palmeiras academy graduate has saved. According to Nosso Palestra, Braga have shown interest in signing him, Palmeiras want him long term but he is not expected to return now due to limited playing time, and he and his representatives prefer to keep playing, ideally at a more prominent European club.
