Rogelio Funes Mori can also fail. The Mexico center forward recently debuted with a double in the Gold Cup missed an unbeatable scoring chance in the triumph of El Tri against El Salvador (1-0) which closed with the group stage of those led by Gerardo “Tata” Martino in the Gold Cup 2021.
With the game 1-0, at the minute 50 ′, Funes Mori received in a comfortable position within the area. He had time to think about how to define: he did not have the pressure of any defender.
The top scorer in the history of Monterrey only had to beat the Salvadoran goalkeeper . Strangely, with all the empty arc on his right, the “Twin” decided to kick crossed and not parallel, sending the ball directly at the feet of Mario González.
Funes Mori just missed the second of the Tri! ❌😓
