The premise

Here’s the bit.

In a soccer match between the Yale Bulldogs and the North Carolina Tar Heels, the game is decided by penalty kicks. Yale's goalkeeper Scott Sterling, played by Matt Meese, repeatedly blocks shots with his face while the announcers grow increasingly astonished. Despite collapsing and being propped up in goal, Sterling's face continues to stop every attempt, ultimately winning the shootout for Yale.
