Unbelievable: Sebastián “Zanahoria” Pérez saved 3 pens in 5 mins | OneFootball

In the match between Chileans and Brazilians, corresponding to the third round of Group F in the Copa Sudamericana, Carlos Vinícius was involved in an unbelievable situation.

The Copa Sudamericana has an endless number of twists, although some are hard to foresee or believe. The Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna witnessed a moment that will be remembered. Ten minutes into the first half between Palestino and Gremio, Carlos Vinícius, the Tricolor forward, missed three penalties in a row! and kept the game level.

The unprecedented situation was due to several factors. On the first attempt, Sebastian Pérez, the home side’s goalkeeper, saved the Brazilian player’s shot, although he had come off his line. Consequently, exactly the same thing happened on the second penalty. The Viña del Mar native went to the right post on the first one and to the left on the next, guessing correctly both times.

However, far from the streak being broken on the third shot, Vinícius tried to place it down the middle, clearly intending to make sure the ball finally ended up in the net once and for all, but the goalkeeper kept that ball out with his right leg. After six minutes and three penalties, Palestino kept a clean sheet and Gremio let three different chances to take the lead slip away.

With this 0-0 draw, the team coached by Guillermo Farré, who was introduced to the Chilean side just two days ago, remain bottom with only two points in Group F of the Sudamericana. The Porto Alegre side, meanwhile, sits third with four points, the same as Deportivo Riestra (which beat Montevideo City Torque 2-1).
