With his save of a penalty kick late in the second half of PSG’s match against Club Brugge, goalkeeper Keylor Navas remained perfect in the Champions League and sent his club through to the tournament Round of 16.

PSG beat the Belgian side, 1-0, on Wednesday in Paris to become the first club from Group A of the Champions League to secure a spot in the knockout stages.

Through PSG’s four Champions League fixtures this season, Navas has yet to allow a goal.

Mauro Icardi scored in the 21st minute for PSG on Wednesday to provide the winning margin.
