Remember him? Fluminense icon misses sitter, mocked worldwide
In Kansas City, United States, the score remains 0-0 for Ecuador vs. Curaçao this Saturday (20), in the second round of Group E at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The situation, however, could have been different if an "old acquaintance" hadn’t missed an unbelievable chance just two minutes into the match.
It was Enner Valencia, who found himself unmarked right on the edge of the six-yard box, but ended up being denied by Curaçao’s goalkeeper.
The missed chance didn’t just bring back "good memories" for Fluminense fans and "nightmares" for Internacional fans because of the 2023 Copa Libertadores.
The foreign press, more specifically Argentina’s Diario Olé, posted an edit of the World Cup play with the caption:
"WATCH OUT! Enner Valencia wasted a clear one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper right at the start of the match, and the shot went way off...".
On social media, Brazilian fans also didn’t let the play go unnoticed.
Enner Valencia currently plays for Pachuca of Mexico.
