02More about the top three

The ranking is above. Here is more about the three places at the top: what they are, why they are here, and what is worth knowing.

Save counts differ by source: Acevedo has 49 or 50, and Jurado 50, 52 or 54. The percentages and the goals-prevented figure also come from different sites (FBref, AS, FotMob), so they are not perfectly comparable.

1Carlos Acevedo (Santos)

No. 1 — Carlos Acevedo (Santos). On the lists of 5 of 8 AIs; median place there: 1. He stopped the highest share of shots, 75.8%, and also made many saves, so his rate came from real work.

Did you know

Acevedo joined the Santos academy at age 10, left after five years because he got few chances, then came back in 2013 with the Under-17 side. His league debut came on 20 August 2016, a 3–1 loss to Cruz Azul.
Source ↗

What it is: Santos goalkeeper who saved 75.8% of shots on target.
Its edge: Best save rate of the three, with nearly as many saves as the leader.
Who should know: Useful for fans judging who is really stopping shots, not just facing many.

Apertura save percentage75.8% saved

Why it is here

He also made 50 saves, second in AS’s Apertura table behind Jurado’s 54, so his high rate came with substantial work. — (voice only)
Source ↗

History

In 2010, Santos had dropped Acevedo from its youth setup. A bus accident injured the two goalkeepers on the under-17 team, and the club called him back; that unexpected opening gave him another chance to fight for a place.

Keep in mind

Europe talk: Santos' sporting director Gonzalo Pineda says no offer came. He added that, like any player, Acevedo wants to go to Europe at some point, so Santos could lose him.

2Sebastián Jurado (Juárez)

No. 2 — Sebastián Jurado (Juárez). On the lists of 5 of 8 AIs; median place there: 6. He made the most saves and let in the most goals, so he is busy rather than best.

What it is: Juárez goalkeeper with the league's most saves.
Its edge: Most saves of the three, 54 in AS's table.
Who should know: Useful to know that lots of saves can come from a weak defense.

3Keylor Navas (Pumas)

No. 3 — Keylor Navas (Pumas). On the lists of 5 of 8 AIs; median place there: 8. A famous name with an ordinary tournament: 63.6% is far below his career level of about 74%.
