Leicester keeper emulates his fabled father in seeing off Sevilla
LEICESTER, England - Just like his father nearly two decades ago, Kasper Schmeichel proved a formidable last line of defense on Tuesday with a crucial penalty save against Sevilla to help Leicester City through to the Champions League quarterfinals.
A performance reminiscent of his those given by his dad Peter, Manchester United's 1999 Champions league winner, reached a crescendo when the junior Schmeichel dived to his left to smother former Stoke City midfielder Steven N'Zonzi's 80th-minute penalty as Leicester went through 3-2 on aggregate.
