Carlitos became the 6th player to miss two penalties in the same game

THE Ghoul took another three points this season and climbed to 6th place in the standings. This time it passed with an emphatic 4-1 from Ioannina, leaving PAS at the… bottom.

In this game there was also a paradox, since the Ghoul won two penalties, but missed both Carlitos. Or rather more correctly, he took them out Athanasiouwith the Spaniard failing to score twice from the white bullet, without ultimately costing his team.

With this performance, Mr Carlitos he joined a closed club of footballers who have “achieved” something similar, i.e. miss two penalties in the same match.

The first in the history of the A’ National/Super League was Yv Triantafyllos, who on April 30, 1973 did not score the two penalties in the 6-0 Olympiakos – Panserraikos match.

This was followed by Giorgos Kostikos in PAOK – Corinth 1-0, Nikos Anastopoulos in Olympiacos – Doxa Drama 3-1 on June 26, 1983, Vassilis Dimitriadis in Naousa – AEK 1-3 on October 31, 1993 and the last before Karlitos was Andrej Yuskoviak in Olympiacos – Ionian 1-1 on June 5, 1995.

Carlitos entered this special list of footballers who have not scored in two penalties and at the same time this personal duel “gave” a record to the goalkeeper of PAS Giannina Vassilis Athanasiou, who became only the 13th in the history of the A’ National Team /Super League that saves his home team twice in a strike from the eleventh step.

This happened for the second time in the same season, since on January 3, 2024, Noam Bowman saved Stefan Schwab and Ali Samata’s penalties in the PAOK – OFI 4-0 match.
