Mamardashvili Saves Penalty for Georgia, Strengthening Case at Liverpool

His international display adds pressure to the goalkeeping pecking order during Alisson Becker’s injury absence.

Overview

  • After fouling Ferran Torres, the 25-year-old saved the resulting penalty, but Georgia lost 2-0 to Spain in Elche.
  • FotMob recorded four saves for Mamardashvili, with only Yeremy Pino’s opener and Mikel Oyarzabal’s free-kick finding the net.
  • He continues as Liverpool’s starting goalkeeper while Alisson recovers from a Champions League injury sustained against Galatasaray.
  • Georgia remain third in Group E of World Cup qualifying and are scheduled to play Turkey next.
  • TBR reports he has eight career penalty saves, a tally they say equals Alisson’s, though this statistic is not widely corroborated in current coverage.
