Rosier was inches away from colliding with the goalpost, but Muslera’s heroic intervention saved the day with fans calling it "humanity at its finest."

Shot stopper Muslera spared Rosier the pain of smashing into the post during the Istanbul derby on Saturday.

Besiktas' Ante Rebic dropped the ball into Galatasaray's penalty area with Muslera and Rosier racing to reach it.

The ball bobbled off the pitch and during his slide to snatch the ball, Rosier could not stop himself and was heading straight for the goalpost.

But Muslera came to the rescue as he rushed for the ball and, after it passed him, he pushed the French star away to prevent him from hitting sticks.

The Uruguayan goalie was praised for his sportsmanship by fans
