Julián Cuesta saved a penalty in the 81st minute to secure a 1-1 draw for Antalyaspor against Trabzonspor. The goalkeeper's late stop capped a busy night between the posts.

After the restart, he was beaten from the spot by Paul Onuachu (53.). He responded with a sharp low save from the forward's header to the bottom corner (62.).

After VAR confirmed the spot kick (79.), he held his ground and saved Onuachu's second effort in the centre (81.). It was the game's defining intervention.

He finished with three saves, two from inside the box, plus one high claim, steadying a back line while the visitors produced 14 attempts.
