Maltese goalkeeper Rashed Al Tumi returned between the sticks for Nocerina in their goalless stalemate against Molfetta in the Serie D, on Sunday.
Al Tumi, who was called up by former Malta coach Ray Farrugia during the Euro 2020 qualifications, was one of the most influential players for Nocerina during the game.
He came to the rescue for his side with a brilliant save in the second half drawing the plaudits from the commentary as he referred to him as ‘Batman Al-Tumi’.
Chances were at a premium, in particular during the second 45 minutes during which there was a technical problem with the ground’s electricity. In fact, the game was halted for almost 30 minutes before kick-off was resumed.
Nocerina and Molfetta are among the contenders for a promotion play-off spot as after this draw they remain fifth and seventh respectively. Al Tumi’s Nocerina have 18 points and will face Cerignola in next Sunday’s commitment.
