😱 Never seen before: he saved 3️⃣ penalties in 5 minutes | OneFootball

In an unprecedented event in the recent history of continental football, Palestino goalkeeper Sebastián Pérez became the unquestioned hero of the clash against Grêmio after saving three consecutive penalties taken by forward Carlos Vinícius. The sequence, which bordered on the surreal, left the spectators in attendance and the Brazilian side’s bench in disbelief.

The drama repeated

The ordeal for the Grêmio attacker began with his first attempt, which Pérez saved, but the referee ordered a retake due to the goalkeeper coming off his line early. On the second attempt, the story unfolded in exactly the same way: the keeper again moved off his line to stop the shot, and the referee, with the help of VAR, disallowed the play once more.

The final outcome

On the third and decisive attempt, misfortune struck Vinícius again, as he slipped at the moment he made contact with the ball. Despite the stumble, Pérez kept his focus and legally saved the ball for a third time, sparking euphoria in the Chilean team and sealing one of the most unusual sequences in the sport.
