The Croatia goalkeeper proved to be the hero for his nation, as his three saves in the decisive penalty shootout saw his side advance to the quarter-finals of the competition.
A penalty arc (often informally called "the D") adjoins the penalty area, and encloses the area within 10 yd (9.1 m) of the penalty spot. It does not form part of the penalty area and is only of relevance during the taking of a penalty kick, when any players inside the arc are adjudged to be encroaching.
