Anatoliy Trubin enjoyed what could be one of the finest nights of his career, scoring the goal that sealed Benfica’s 4-2 Champions League win over Real Madrid.

According to Glorioso 1904, the Ukrainian’s strike at Estádio da Luz put him into the competition’s history as only the seventh goalkeeper to score in a Champions League match, across both formats.

Before Trubin, the feat was achieved by Lazio goalkeeper Provedel. The list also includes Pantalic, Butt, who scored three times, Piot, Enyeama and Bolat.

Trubin also became the first goalkeeper to score in an official match for Benfica.
