The Newcastle United goalkeeper replaced Ajax’ Jasper Cillessen at the end of extra time in Holland’s quarter final win over Costa Rica in Salvador. He thrash-talked like nobody’s business, guessed the right way for all five Costa Rican penalties and saved two of them to set up a semi-final date with Argentina on Wednesday.
The Radio Netherlands match commentators were understandably pumped up for the dramatic shoot-out and lost their minds as Krul stretched to keep out Michael Umaña’s kick and win the game for his country. Check out the excellent commentary as ‘Penalty Killer’ Krul saves the day.
