Unbelievable! Carlos Vinícius misses 3 pens, ex-Benfica stunned (Video) | OneFootball

Carlos Vinícius stood out in Palestino - Grêmio, but in disastrous fashion. The former Benfica player missed three penalties

Grêmio drew 0-0 with Palestino in Chile, in a Matchday 3 clash of the Copa Sudamericana, marked by the disastrous display of striker Carlos Vinícius, who had three chances to score from the penalty spot but failed.

Sebastián Pérez, the Chilean side’s goalkeeper, ended up becoming the standout figure of the match by saving all three efforts from the former Benfica striker. On the first two, the keeper benefited from being further off his line than allowed, but on the third attempt he once again shone between the posts with another save, to the delight of his teammates and all the fans in the stands.

Frustrated by the misses, Carlos Vinícius did not hide his dissatisfaction immediately after the final whistle. However, the former Clube da Luz striker - who has heard the LaLiga president ‘calling’ for Mourinho - refused to let his head drop after an unfortunate match, consequently keeping his focus on the next commitment.

"What a night! It’s difficult… deep down, we’re frustrated because we step onto the pitch to help, especially when these things happen. It’s risky to say, but we don’t usually see this in every game, do we? Especially me, since I had been doing very well with penalties, but well, it’s part of the game", the Brazilian striker began by lamenting, in comments to 'ESPN'.

In closing, Carlos Vinícius is already thinking only about the next objective: "We’re in there and we know that anything can happen in football. Just because it went wrong today doesn’t mean I’m going to hang my head. We already have to prepare for the next game; as I always say, here in Brazil the competitions come one after another very quickly. Now we have to gather what was good to prepare for the next Brasileirão match."
