Edouard Mendy has proven again why he is the best Goalkeeper in the world after making a penalty shootout save for Senegal in their World Cup qualifier against Egypt. The penalty shootout victory over the Pharaohs of Egypt means the African Champions have secured their spot in Qatar.
The 30-year-old Shot stopper made history in January when he became the first African Goalkeeper to be crowned FIFA’s Best Men’s Goalkeeper of the Year.
