Toluca’s goalkeeper, Tiago Volpi, had a tough night as he missed two crucial penalties in the match against Blue Cross on the last day of the regular phase of Clausura 2024. Volpi, who had a streak of 15 consecutive penalties scored, failed to convert both opportunities within six minutes.
The first penalty was awarded at the 65th minute due to a foul on Maximiliano Araujo, while the second penalty came at the 71st minute for a handball. Despite deceiving the Blue Cross goalkeeper Kevin Mier on both occasions, Volpi’s shots hit the left post and went out of play, denying Toluca the chance to equalize.
Before this match, Volpi had successfully converted 15 consecutive penalties for Toluca, with five goals in the current Closing 2024 season. However, his misses against Blue Cross marked a rare setback for the Brazilian goalkeeper, who had been a reliable scorer from the penalty spot.
Despite this disappointment, Toluca will look to regroup and bounce back in their upcoming matches as they aim to secure a spot in the playoffs. Subscribe to Star+ for more sports content and updates on the Liga MX action.
