UCL: Enyeama named among four record-making goalkeepers

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has been recognised by UEFA as one of the four goalkeepers to have scored a goal in the history of the Champions League.

According to a post on UEFA’s official website, Ivan Provedel, Sinan Bolat and Hans-Jorg Butt are the other goalkeepers who achieved the feat.

Enyeama joined the exclusive list when he converted from the spot in Israeli club, Hapoel Tel Aviv’s 3-1 defeat to Olympic Lyon of France on September 9, 2010.

The shot stopper later moved to Ligue 1 club, Lille where he also enjoyed a stellar career.

Butt converted three penalties for Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich in the Champions League during his active days.

Bolat and Provedel, like Enyeama, scored one goal each from the spot.
