Dog performs amazing goal line save during soccer match

Sign this very good dog up.
By Johnny Lieu  on 

There are many great human goalkeepers, but a dog might just join those ranks.

A soccer match between Argentinian teams Juventud Unida and Defensores de Belgrano nearly ended in mild disaster on Sunday, when a Defensores keeper kicked the ball into the back of an opposing player.

With an open goal behind the keeper, the situation could've ended in embarrassment. But as you'll see, a rogue dog on the field managed to pull off one of the saves of the year.

The ball deflected off the well-placed canine, and rolled away from the goal, preventing what would've been an easy tap in.

Despite the dog's efforts, accidental or not, Juventud went on to win the match 3-0. Time to sign the pooch up.
