Kevin Akpoguma was spared the embarrassment of costing his side points on Saturday in the Bundesliga match between Hoffenheim and Freiburg at the Europa-Park Stadion.
Akpoguma gave away a penalty just past the hour mark with the scores tied at 1-1. The Hoffenheim goalie, Oliver Baumann made a good save to deny the hosts.
In dramatic fashion the visitors would eventually snatch the winning goal, Bayern Munich loanee Chris Richards headed home from a corner kick to give his side all three points.
Meanwhile, it was a game to forget for Kevin Akpoguma, who only made one clearance; won no tackles or interceptions but lost possession twice and committed two fouls in his 68 minutes on the pitch.
