Fresh from making his Germany debut a few days ago, Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann solidified his legacy in Bundesliga history by moving to fourth place on the all-time penalty saves list during Hoffenheim’s 3-1 victory over VfL Bochum on Saturday.

The 34-year-old goalkeeper’s decisive moment came late in Saturday’s Matchday 7 clash at home to Bochum when he dropped smartly to his right to save Lukas Daschner’s penalty, preserving Hoffenheim’s narrow 2-1 lead and paving the way for Haris Tabaković to score his side’s third and secure the precious win.

This was Baumann’s second spot-kick stop in as many matches – he denied Ermedin Demirović’s initial effort in the 1-1 draw in Stuttgart on Matchday 6 – but more importantly, it was the 15th penalty save of his Bundesliga career, which places him in some pretty exalted company.

He now sits fourth on the all-time Bundesliga penalty saves list, with only the legendary Rudi Kargus, Toni Schumacher and Norbert Nigbur ahead of him – and he is arguably just now reaching the peak of his powers.

Indeed, his prowess with spot-kicks seems to be growing with time. In fact, five of his penalty saves – a third of his career total – have come since the beginning of last season and have doubtless played a role in Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann’s handing Baumann his Germany debut earlier this month
