It was not a terrible kick. Β It wasn't a great kick either.
The aim was correct. Β For a low ball on the ground, the hardest place for a keeper to save is about 2-3 yards off-center - because the hips are the slowest part to get to the ground when you dive.
Unfortunately for Saka, his ball was elevated a little - so instead of going under the diving Donnarumma, it was the perfect height for a save.
