Overview
- Spain beat Georgia 2-0 in Elche, with goals from Yeremy Pino and Mikel Oyarzabal in the World Cup qualifier.
- Giorgi Mamardashvili conceded the spot kick by fouling Ferran Torres, then denied the forward and celebrated in front of him.
- TBR Football reports the save was Mamardashvili’s eighth in his career, a total it notes equals Alisson Becker’s tally.
- Alisson suffered an injury in Liverpool’s Champions League loss to Galatasaray, bringing Mamardashvili into first-team consideration.
- Coverage suggests his penalty record and recent displays could influence Arne Slot’s selection once Alisson is fit later this month.
