Rossi saved a penalty taken by Yuri Alberto in Flamengo's victory over Corinthians

Agustín Rossi shone in Flamengo's 2-1 victory over Corinthians this Sunday (28). After a penalty committed by Léo Pereira, Yuri Alberto attempted a 'chip'. However, the goalkeeper saved the shot while sitting down.

The save demonstrated the control and preparation of Flamengo's goalkeeper. Rossi masters the 'art' of saving penalties with coolness and technique. It's worth remembering that the Argentine had already stopped a similar attempt in 2019.

That year, Nico de La Cruz, now a teammate at Flamengo, tried the same move for River Plate (ARG). Rossi was playing for Lanús (ARG) and also made the save. However, his team lost 3-0 in the Argentine Championship.
