Edwin Cardona missed a great opportunity to bring Atlético Nacional close to the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.
The Colombian team's number 10 missed TWO penalties in the match against São Paulo on Tuesday (12) in MedellÃn.
Moreover, he also "saved" defender Nahuel Ferraresi, who was responsible for conceding the two penalties.
The first one occurred just 10 minutes into the match, when the ball hit the defender's arm inside the area.
Cardona took the shot, kicked it low, and sent it wide to the left of the goal.
The second penalty occurred in the second half, after a foul by Ferraresi on Morelos.
Cardona again kicked it low, aiming for the left corner, but this time Rafael was there to make the save.
The return match of the confrontation takes place next Tuesday (19) at Morumbi.
