In this electrifying moment captured during the Npower Football League Championship match between Burnley and Reading, goalkeeper Brian Jensen of Burnley FC displays extraordinary reflexes and determination in an attempt to deny Shane Long of Reading FC the opening goal from the penalty spot. The scene unfolds as Long steps up to take the penalty, with the collective breath of the crowd held in anticipation. The intensity is palpable as Jensen sets himself, eyes fixed on the ball. The crowd roars as Long makes contact, and the ball rockets towards the goal. But Jensen is not to be outdone. With lightning-fast reflexes, he stretches out a hand and manages to get a fingertip on the ball, sending it soaring above the crossbar. The crowd erupts in a cacophony of cheers and relief as Burnley is spared the concession of an early goal.

This breathtaking near-save by Brian Jensen is a moment that will be long remembered by fans of both teams, and a reminder of the thrilling unpredictability of the beautiful game.
