Enzo Díaz tops list for most penalties conceded after Bragantino slip-up | OneFootball

São Paulo played very poorly against Bragantino. But the impression was that the result could have been different if it weren’t for the silly penalty committed by Enzo Díaz, which ended up sealing the 1-0 defeat on Saturday (8), at Vila Belmiro.

The issue is that the foul committed by the left-back in the second half, in addition to resulting in the loss, also earned him a rather unenviable leadership position: he is the player in the first division of the Brazilian Championship who has committed the most penalties this year.

In total, Enzo Díaz has committed five penalties so far this season, four of them in the Brasileirão and one in the Copa Libertadores.

Among all the athletes in the national first division, no one has committed this type of foul more often, according to ‘Sofascore’.

This statistic is just the icing on the cake. Counting only the Brasileirão, Enzo also comfortably leads the ranking of players who have committed the most penalties in the competition. His four fouls are double that of the second-place players. Ten players have committed two penalties in the current edition. Among them is Pablo Maia, his teammate.

Enzo is on loan to São Paulo from River Plate until the end of December. Despite competition from Wendell, who arrived as a presumed starter, he has become the first choice for the position. He is the third player with the most appearances this season, with 54 matches, behind only Luciano and Rafael.

Despite leading the unflattering ranking of penalty committers, there are other attributes in which the Argentine truly stands out. Alongside Luciano, he is the team’s top assist provider this year, with seven each.

His performance and the coaching staff’s approval should lead Tricolor to make Enzo’s transfer permanent. He has already met the loan objectives, and the set fee is R$ 10.8 million, a value that should be negotiated due to River Plate’s interest in acquiring a player loaned by the Morumbi club, midfielder Galoppo.
