Martin Dubravka stretched to parry away Alvaro Morata’s penalty on 12 minutes and in that moment, as the camera zoomed in on Morata’s beautiful face and sad eyes, the idea that Dubravka would be the one wanting to be swallowed up, digested and excreted directly into Seville’s sewage system seemed quite far-fetched. Dubravka’s misfortune was part of a bizarre pattern in becoming the seventh own goal of Euro 2020, approaching the tally of nine in the tournament’s entire history before this summer. But what made Dubravka’s so spectacular was that it had the appearance of calculated rebellion, a deliberate act of sabotage, despite the goalkeeper quite clearly trying to achieve something entirely different.
