Keylor Navas made several key saves in the first half as PSG rallied late to beat Atalanta, 2-1, in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

Marquinhos (90th minute) and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (93rd) turned a near-loss into victory for the French club.

Navas left in the 79th minute with an injury, and his status for the Champions League semifinal remains unclear.

But in the first half, the Costa Rican goalkeeper impressed as Atalanta had several attacking chances. Check out one of the saves below:

With Navas on the bench due to the late injury, PSG advanced to its first Champions League semifinal appearance in 25 years.

The Costa Rican doesn’t have long to recover, with the semifinals scheduled for next week.
