🎥 Utter madness! Carlos Vinícius misses the same penalty three times
Top scorer of the 2026 Brasileirão with Grêmio, Carlos Vinícius made history this Wednesday (29).
But in a negative way.
The Tricolor striker had THREE chances to convert the penalty won by Tetê after Palestino’s goalkeeper came off his line twice in the Copa Sudamericana clash.
But he missed all THREE attempts against the Chilean side’s keeper.
It brought back memories of Argentine Palermo against Colombia in 1999, but with the difference that the now coach missed three different penalties.
See below what happened and the reactions on social media.
The penalty was awarded after Dilan Zúñiga pulled Tetê inside the box.
Carlos Vinícius stepped up and saw Sebastián Pérez guess the corner right before the post came to his rescue.
But the Argentine goalkeeper had both feet off the line, and VAR flagged the infringement.
Grêmio’s No. 9 took the ball once again and decided to switch sides.
But he saw his nemesis palm it away once more — before the post helped out again.
Then... VAR once again showed that Pérez had come off his line early.
Carlos Vinícius did not let any teammate take over the responsibility and showed character.
He stepped up for the kick and... slipped before the rival goalkeeper’s "hat-trick" of saves.
Check it out below:
Many internet users did not forgive him.
Others simply couldn’t believe it.
