Nassim Chehmani saved three penalties for University of Gloucestershire Men’s Football first team in the first round of the National Trophy to send them through to the second round.
The game finished 2-2 with goals from Callum Bridge and Elijah McDonald sending the game to penalties which finished 6-5 to University of Gloucestershire.
Goalkeeper Chehmani did not start the game against Marjon but was brought on for the penalty shootout, “I’m glad I could come in and make an impact.”
He added, “I thought we performed really well we scored two pretty decent goals, I thought we fell asleep in the second half, but we closed the game out regardless.”
Chehmani is a fan of penalty shootouts, “I tell every team that I play with that if it goes to penalties, I will get two saves and I got three.”
Looking ahead to their next match in the competition, “I think the lads will be up for it, and we can perform and get another win and progress through the cup.”
Since then, the team have faced St Mary’s in round two which they won.
The game against St Mary’s at Plock Court finished 1-1 with a 5-4 win on penalties seeing University of Gloucestershire men’s 1’s into the hat for the third round of the National Trophy.
They will face Surrey Men’s 1’s in the quarter final on Wednesday, November 25th.
