... that in February 2023, Italian footballerSamuele Parlati saved a penalty kick while playing in goal, after his team's goalkeeper had been sent off? Source: From Tuttosport (translated): "The unthinkable happened in [the match] between Giugliano and Monterosi. In the middle of injury time, around the 90th [minute], the hosts had the opportunity to equalize [the score] with a kick from the penalty spot. The curious fact was that Salvemini's shot was faced between the sticks by Parlati, [Monterosi's] midfielder, not [goalkeeper] Alia, [who had been] sent-off after causing the penalty. [Parlati] took off the outfield player's shirt and wore goalkeeper gloves as he tried to become the hero of the day for Monterosi. No sooner said than done. Salvemini [went for a] right-footed shot, [but] Parlati dived and blocked the ball, as the spectators couldn't believe [what they had just seen] and his team-mates burst out in joy. Parlati is just the last of many outfield players who went in goal as emergency back-ups."
ALT1: ... that in February 2023, Samuele Parlati became one of the few professional outfield footballers who managed to save a penalty kick while playing in goal? Source: From Tuttosport (translated): "Samuele Parlati is just the last outfield player in chronological order to have saved a penalty. [...] Raise your hand if you remember Fabio Bilica, a former Venezia player who, on 7 November 1999 [...], saved Shevchenko's penalty kick, although he then conceded a goal, following a tap-in by Orlandini. [...] 2004 saw Di Michele as a protagonist, as the forward went in goal in a match between Lecce and Udinese and saved a penalty by Vucinic. [...] In 2012, former Juventus player [Felipe Melo] was playing for Galatasaray when he managed to save a penalty kick by Turkdogan."
Comment: This is my fifth nomination: I thought it would be a fun and quirky entry, and I highly appreciate whoever will help me adjust the hooks, if needed. I also address that my QPQ review is currently incomplete, as I'm still waiting for a reply by the nominator and/or other reviewers.
@Onegreatjoke: Thank you for reviewing this! I can assure that is a reliable source, by the way. Also, which hook might look the most suitable? Oltrepier (talk) 16:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Oltrepier: I was about to promote ALT1, but wanted to double check...did you mean to say few professional outfield footballers? (Because if you don't qualify it somehow, technically any kid playing grassroots football, for example, could count?) Cielquiparle (talk) 16:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Cielquiparle: Thank you for reporting it! The list I've mentioned in both hooks mainly includes professional footballers and senior internationals (both in men's and women's football), with just a few exceptions, so yes, I should definitely add one more word to clarify it.

@Oltrepier: Good article. AGF on italian sources. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:38, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
