Peter Schmeichel

, one of the best goalkeepers in history, scored 11 goals throughout his formidable and long career.

To his solvency under the sticks he added skill and impetus to join the attack in extreme situations.

Before living his best years at Manchester United, where he won a Champions League, five Leagues and three Cups, the former Danish national team goalkeeper became the first goalkeeper in the Premier League to score a goal: he did so with the Aston Villa jersey, against Everton, with a spectacular volley, in 2001.

Confined to an increasingly wide territory, with the highest priority of avoiding the opponent's goals, the very nature of the game means that we only see the goalkeepers in the opposing area in an exceptional way, moved by the desperation of their teams in the eagerness balancing or unleveling the marker.

This was the case with

Yasssine Bono

last Saturday night at the Nuevo Zorrilla.

The Moroccan, one of the most outstanding players of Sevilla in recent months, joined the auction at the exit of a corner when time was running out and his team lost 1-0.

The ball ended up in his left boot after a delirious journey through the opponent's goal, with successive errors by the local defense, and he managed to finish with precision to get the tie.

Unlike Schmeichel, the unsuspected scorer in Valladolid had never looked at the opposite goal.

However, it enters an unusual statistic in the Spanish League: never two goalkeepers had scored in the same season.

It was previously done by

Marko Dmitrovic

, who converted a penalty in Ipurua against Atlético de Madrid.

Before Bono, the last goalkeeper who had scored in Spain in play was

Daniel Aranzubia

, who did it with a head to tie Deportivo against Almería a decade ago.

Palop's precedent

Without leaving Sevilla, on March 15, 2007, another goalkeeper,

Andrés Palop

, sealed an accurate header that led his team to extra time in Donetsk, against Shakhtar, when the game died.

In extra time,

Chevantón

made it 2-3 and the Andalusian team qualified for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup.

Although modern football demands more and more skills from the guardians of the frame, obliged in many cases to handle themselves on the right foot and to start the plays from their own position, standing out for their directing faculty has always been the patrimony of a select group.

Consummate specialists passed through the Spanish championship not only in the execution of the penatis, but also in the free kicks.

If

Carlos Fenoy

was Celta's top scorer in the 1976/77 season, transforming five times from 11 meters,

José Luis Chilavert

, the author of 67 goals in his long and nomadic career in football, passed through Real Zaragoza.

In 1999, already with Vélez Sarsfield, he got a

hat trick

by hitting the three penalties with which Ferrocarril Oeste was punished.

The one who best embodied the transgressive character of the goalkeepers was

José René Higuita

.

The Colombian, who passed through Valladolid in 1991, was a pioneer.

He scored 41 goals, 37 of them penalties, but it became one of his singularities to leave the area with the ball at his feet and even progress with risky dribbles.

Hans-Jorg Butt

, Bayer Leverkusen's goalkeeper in the 2002 Champions League final that Real Madrid won with

Zidane's

celebrated goal

, is one of the consummate set pieces specialists.

Four times international with Germany, he scored penalties with three different teams in the highest continental competition.

He did it with Bayer Leverkusen, Hamburg and Bayern Munich.

He got a total of 32 goals.
