Diego Perotti's Missed Penalty: A Moment of Displeasure for AS Roma

There are poorly taken penalties and then there is what Diego Perotti did for AS Roma. The Argentine is currently enjoying a great personal moment in Italian football; he is one of the team's key players and has even earned a call-up to the new Argentina national team.

This good moment translated into confidence for Perotti, and it showed in the match against Cagliari. AS Roma was tied 0-0 at home and was facing a lot of difficulties, until they had the unmissable opportunity to open the scoring with a penalty kick.

Perotti did not hesitate, he grabbed the ball and took charge of the situation. However, what followed was incomprehensible, as the former Boca player casually walked up to take the penalty and struck it with unprecedented nonchalantness.

Alessio Cragno, the opposing goalkeeper, turned into a hero and easily saved the penalty. The situation surprised everyone present in the stadium, and it quickly went viral on social media.

Perotti should thank his compatriot Federico Fazio, as he scored the winning goal in the last minute for AS Roma. Despite the relief of securing the 3 points, Perotti should reconsider his attitude when taking penalties, as it is a very important responsibility.
