For the first time this season, Israeli goalkeeper Daniel Peretz kept a clean sheet in league play as his team, Southampton, withstood significant pressure. The Saints played nearly an entire half with ten players but managed to secure a crucial 1-0 victory over Portsmouth. This win is particularly important for Southampton's season.
Peretz had previously recorded seven clean sheets last season, with his last one coming in April 2026, six months prior. Despite starting the current season with a points deduction, Southampton is now only three points behind third-place West Ham after nine rounds, with 29 more to play.
English media noted Southampton's composure, with one report stating, "Southampton remained cool-headed." While the team sent many balls towards Peretz's goal, he remained unfazed. He made two saves during the match, including a significant one just before halftime. Peretz completed 29 of 43 passes in the game.
"The game could have changed in an instant," commented the Daily Echo, "but Peretz was there." Southampton is scheduled to play Norwich on Wednesday and Bolton on Saturday. Notably, Bolton's goalkeeper, Gavin Bazunu, is described as "anti-Israeli."
