Cássio’s performance in this final of the Copa Sudamericana, taking place between Cruzeiro and Racing this Saturday (23/11), became a laughing stock on social media.
However, even in the first half, the Minas Gerais team came out at a disadvantage after conceding two goals, in moves that fans considered to be goalkeeper failures.

Cássio missed Racing’s goals?
Racing’s first goal came 14 minutes into the first half. Racing starts a counterattack. Martirena receives the ball from Quintero on the right and tries a cross. With a great goal, the ball went towards Cássio’s corner.
It can be said that it was Cássio’s mistake in Martirena’s goal. It was a possible move to defend, even if with a greater degree of difficulty.
However, in the second goal Cássio’s error was more explicit. In this play, 19 minutes into the first half, Salas received a long throw and won the race. The ball stopped with Martínez, who scored into the net.
In this one, Cassius’s failure was more explicit – and which became an even greater target of criticism. This is because it was possible for the goalkeeper to leave with open arms or follow the line to make the save, something that did not happen. Still, it was also harmed by the rest of Cruzeiro’s defensive sector, which didn’t know how to act.
