This performance is similar to that of former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who scored for Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Champions League 13 years ago.

However, Provedel’s goal stands out because it was scored out of play, making him only the second goalkeeper in Champions League history to achieve this feat without the aid of a penalty.
This historic moment is the first time in 13 years that Enyeama has achieved this at Hapoel Tel Aviv. The last goalkeeper to score from play in the UCL was Sinan Borat, who also scored a late equalizer in the 95th minute against Standard Liege in the 2009/10 season.
