Confront the attacker in a one-on-one
Why the comparison works
The Alisson–Costa link is narrow: intervening when an attacker breaks through on goal. Alisson's one-on-one ability is described in Liverpool's 2019 interview; Costa's stop against Šeško at EURO 2024 supplies a concrete example. These different samples do not prove equal consistency.
