As a result, Brazilian defender Jarleysom took on the challenge, playing the rest of the match as goalkeeper.

And for those who thought he would do badly, they were wrong!

Besides helping his team, Jarleysom secured the victory by practically saving everything at the back!

The Brazilian went viral for the number of saves he made in the game.

Benfica B would equalize in the 70th, with Rodrigo Rêgo.
