Flamengo's Deivid de Souza may never live down the golden opportunity he squandered in Friday's match against Vasco da Gama in the semifinals of the Rio de Janeiro tournament Guanabara Cup. In the 35th minute with the score tied, 1-1, Souza was in the right place at the right time as he received a pass directly in front of an empty net.
Slowing his run, Deivid tried tapping the ball into the goal, but it bounced off the post and was quickly cleared by a Vasco defender. The embarrassed Deivid immediately fell on his stomach inside the goal and briefly stayed on the ground while the ball was still in play.
