Grêmio has 50% success in penalty kicks in the season

Grêmio beat Santos 1-0, on Sunday, at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in the debut of the Brazilian Championship. The match that put Tricolor in ninth place in the competition, however, pointed out several problems in the team. The first of them reinforced the difficulty with penalty kicks. What was one of the club’s specialties in 2022 became a problem this year. The season just started and Tricolor had 12 penalties scored in their favor and scored only six, that is, they had a 50% success rate at the lime mark.

Of the six missed kicks, Suárez was the one who wasted the most – there were three errors in four opportunities. When playing for Barcelona, ​​Luisito lost just two of the 14 he charged in six years. Even left-back Reinaldo, who has around 96% success in his career, has already made mistakes with the blue shirt. In total, there are three mistakes by the Uruguayan, one by Diego Souza, one by Reinaldo and one by Galdino. In addition to the low use of chances during the match, coach Renato Portaluppi now needs to worry about converting penalties.
