Matias Omar Degra (born June 18, 1983) is a retired Argentine football player, who last played for Greek Super League club AEL, as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Asteras Tripolis
In 2009 Asteras signed Degra from Veria (2nd Division) and became the first choice goalkeeper of the team.
AEL Limassol
In 2011, he signed for AEL Limassol, helping the team to win the Cypriot First Division. He had the amazing record of saving 7 consecutive penalties in a whole year, helping the team have the best defensive record in the league. The next season started very well for Matias Degra and he participated in the group stages of the UEFA Europa League. At the end of the season, after his team lost in the Cypriot cup final, Degra did not renew his contact with AEL.
Paços Ferreira
In June 2013, he moved to Portugal and signed a contract with Paços Ferreira.
Sheriff Tiraspol
In June 2014, he signed a contract with Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol.
AEL
In July 2016, he signed a contract with Greek side AEL. He made his debut on a friendly match against A.O.Kerkyra. On 12 September 2016, he made his official debut in a league match against Iraklis Thessaloniki (2-2). This was meant to be his last appearance in the club. After the game ended he had a very serious confrontation with the team's major shareholder Alexis Kougias at the entrance of the locker rooms. Kougias blamed him for having unprofessional behavior and poor performance. Also he claimed to have full responsibility for the second goal the team conceded , when he tried to dribble past 2 opponents, he lost the ball and the other team scored in an empty goal. Photos published later show Kougias hit Degra in the face.[1] Hours later he solved his contract and left the club by mutual agreement.[2]
